Zyxel flaws

Zyxel has put out firmware updates for a serious command injection problem, known as CVE-2026-6837, that affects 18 models of wireless access points. This issue is in the export-cgi part and might let a logged-in admin run operating system commands on the affected devices.

The flaw impacts the PKCS#12 certificate export process. Security expert Mina Nageh Salama said the password for exporting the certificate can be added to a shell command without proper safety checks.

An attacker with a good admin session could use special input to break out of the normal command area and run other commands.

Zyxel said that 18 models of AP are impacted. This includes NWA50AX, NWA50AX PRO, NWA55AXE, NWA55AX PRO, NWA55AX PTP, NWA90AX, NWA90AX PRO, NWA110AX, NWA210AX, NWA220AX-6E, WAX300H, WAX510D, WAX610D, WAX620D-6E, WAX630S, WAX640S-6E, WAX650S, and WAX655E.

The vendor’s advisory on August 4, 2026, says firmware 7.12 builds are the updated version for these models. For WAX650S, admins need to upgrade to version 7.12(ABRM.0)C0.

Organizations need to quickly find the affected Zyxel APs, install the correct firmware update, and make sure that web management interfaces are not accessible from untrusted networks.

Administrators should change special passwords if they think they might be exposed, restrict management access by using network separation, and check device logs for any strange certificate-export actions.
