CVE-2026-71993 is a command injection vulnerability affecting MSI Radix AXE6600 router firmware up to and including version v781521. The flaw is reported in the firmware's openvpn function, with exploitation occurring via the macfilter function, which can be abused to inject attacker-controlled commands into system-level command execution. Because the injected commands are executed on the router's underlying operating system, a remote attacker can achieve arbitrary command execution on the device. Available reporting indicates successful exploitation can result in execution with root privileges.
