CVE-2026-71991 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in MSI Radix AXE6600 router firmware version v781521. The flaw is present in the TelnetSSH function responsible for Telnet configuration, where attacker-controlled input supplied through the Telnet configuration interface is improperly neutralized before being incorporated into operating system commands. This allows specially crafted input to be injected into command execution flow, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the router. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and can lead to execution with root privileges on the underlying system.
