# DETAILS
The ER7206 Omada Gigabit VPN Router is a high-performance networking solution that supports gigabit connectivity, highly secure VPN and integration with Omada SDN for centralized cloud management and zero-touch provisioning.
The ER7206 Omada Gigabit VPN Router runs various services to manage the router or devices connected to the router. One such service is `uhttpd` which runs on port 80/443. It gives users a web interface to configure and manage the router. By default, the service runs as a root user. An attacker can gain root access to the device by exploiting this service.
A command injection vulnerability exists in the `uhttpd` service when a guest resource is added to the device. In the web interface, the guest resource page can be accessed by navigating to `Authentication` -> `Authentication Settings` -> `Guest Resources`. It contains features to add, edit, and delete guest resources. When a guest resource is added, it triggers the following the HTTP Post request:
