CVE-2026-61875 openwrt CVE debrief

Who should care

Administrators and users of luci-app-upnp, especially those with exposed UPnP interfaces, should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to mitigate it. This includes applying vendor patches or updates as soon as available, limiting access to UPnP interfaces to trusted networks and users, and monitoring UPnP and Status pages for suspicious activity.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in luci-app-upnp, which does not properly encode user-supplied input from the NewPortMappingDescription field in UPnP IGD AddPortMapping SOAP requests. This allows unauthenticated LAN clients to inject malicious JavaScript, which is stored and rendered without output encoding. When administrators view the UPnP or Status pages, the payload is executed. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.7 and is considered high-severity.

• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
