EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Description
A vulnerability has been found in GL.iNet GL-MT3000 up to 4.4.5. Affected is the function FUN_0042e200 of the file /cgi-bin/glc of the component SET_USER_PWD Handler. The manipulation of the argument Password leads to command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 4.8.1 is able to address this issue. The affected component should be upgraded. The vendor explains: " The current code escapes single quotes in the password parameter and handles it inside a shell single‑quote context. The payloads in the report, which rely on $() or backticks to trigger command substitution, are not executed under the current code path. We tested on a GL‑MT3000 device running firmware 4.8.1 using similar payloads, and no command‑execution marker file was created."
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-11452 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-11452 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-11452. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
