HTTP: DD-WRT Management GUI HTTP Daemon Arbitrary Command Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against httpd daemon in DD-WRT. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

DD-WRT is prone to a remote command-injection vulnerability because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input data. Remote attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary shell commands with superuser privileges, which may facilitate a complete compromise of the affected device. DD-WRT v24-sp1 is affected; other versions may also be vulnerable.
