CVE-2026-19348: Vulnerability and Exposure Details

What is CVE-2026-19348 and which devices are affected?

CVE-2026-19348 is an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in the Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater (version r0-ea7890a). A remote attacker can inject arbitrary shell commands via the smacfilter_conf operation in /protocol.csp, leading to remote code execution. The vulnerability is rated Critical with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8. No authentication or user interaction is required for exploitation.
Note: No vendor patch is available at the time of writing. Organizations should restrict access to the device's web management interface and monitor for firmware updates. Source: NIST NVD

How can organizations mitigate the risk from CVE-2026-19348 if no patch is available?

If no vendor patch is available for CVE-2026-19348, organizations should avoid exposing the device’s web management interface to untrusted networks or the internet. Restrict access to /protocol.csp using upstream network/firewall controls, segment the repeater onto an isolated network, and consider replacing the device if remote exposure cannot be eliminated.
Note: These mitigations reduce risk but do not fully eliminate the vulnerability until a patch is applied. Source: NIST NVD

IONIX Detection, Validation, and Mitigation Capabilities

How does IONIX detect and validate exposures to CVE-2026-19348?

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods—including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, and metadata inspection—to automatically map every internet-facing asset, including cloud instances, third-party platforms, and shadow IT. For CVE-2026-19348, IONIX matches signals such as the raw HTTP response body (TT_SetWifiExt) against previously crawled asset data. This approach identifies potentially affected assets without sending new requests. IONIX then applies exploitability validation to confirm which exposures are real and actionable.
Note: Detection relies on existing crawl data; assets not previously discovered may require additional inventory steps. Source: IONIX Threat Center

What is Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) and how does IONIX deliver it?

Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) is IONIX's approach to not just managing but actively mitigating external exposures before attackers can exploit them. IONIX discovers the full external attack surface, validates which exposures are exploitable, and drives mitigation through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. The platform commits to a 12-hour SLA from CVE publication to identifying every potentially affected asset, with exploitability validation in the same window.
Note: PEM requires continuous monitoring and agentless discovery; organizations with highly dynamic environments may need to review inventory coverage regularly. Source: IONIX

How does IONIX prioritize and drive remediation for critical vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-19348?

IONIX routes validated findings through integrations with ticketing (Jira, ServiceNow), SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This approach shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
Note: Remediation effectiveness depends on integration with existing workflows and timely action by IT and security teams. Source: IONIX

What is Live Exposure Defense and how does it help with zero-day vulnerabilities?

Live Exposure Defense is an IONIX capability that guarantees a 12-hour SLA from CVE publication to identifying every potentially affected asset, with exploitability validation in the same window. This enables organizations to respond to zero-day vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-19348 before attackers can exploit them.
Note: The 12-hour SLA applies to assets already discovered and inventoried by IONIX; newly added assets may require additional discovery time. Source: IONIX

New CVE Detected

CVE-2026-19348 – Unauthenticated OS Command Injection (RCE) – Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater r0

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-19348 is an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in the Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary shell commands through the smacfilter_conf handling in /protocol.csp, achieving remote code execution on the device. The issue is rated Critical (CVSS v3.1 base score 9.8).

Technical details

  • Root cause: User-controlled input to the smacfilter_conf operation is passed into sprintf and used to build system commands without sanitization or escaping (CWE-77 / CWE-78 command injection).
  • Trigger conditions: An HTTP request to the /protocol.csp endpoint using the smacfilter_conf set/add operation, supplying malicious values in the enable, name, or mac (MAC address) parameters.
  • Attack vector: Network (AV:N). No authentication and no user interaction are required.
  • Impact: Injected commands execute in the context of the device’s web backend (running as root), yielding full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected software

  • Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater, version r0-ea7890a.

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 base score: 9.8 (Critical)
  • Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: No vendor patch has been published for this vulnerability at the time of writing. Monitor Shenzhen Aitemi for firmware updates and apply them once available.
  • If no patch: Do not expose the device’s web management interface to untrusted networks or the internet. Restrict access to /protocol.csp to trusted management hosts using upstream network/firewall controls, segment the repeater onto an isolated network, and consider replacing the device where remote exposure cannot be eliminated.

How IONIX identifies potentially affected assets

IONIX matches the following signals against data already collected when it crawled the asset; identifying the technology sends no request beyond that crawl.

  • Raw HTTP response body: TT_SetWifiExt

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
