CVE-2020-25859 — MEDIUM (6.7)

Vulnerability Description

The QCMAP_CLI utility in the Qualcomm QCMAP software suite prior to versions released in October 2020 uses a system() call without validating the input, while handling a SetGatewayUrl() request.

This version of QCMAP is used in many kinds of networking devices, primarily mobile hotspots and LTE routers.
