A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Netgear D6400 1.0.0.114. This affects an unknown part of the file diag.cgi. The manipulation of the argument host_name leads to os command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early and confirmed the existence of the vulnerability. They reacted very quickly, professional and kind. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.

Command injection vulnerabilities typically occur when:
Many protocols and products have their own custom command language. While OS or shell command strings are frequently discovered and targeted, developers may not realize that these other command languages might also be vulnerable to attacks. Command injection is a common problem with wrapper programs.
