# D-Link DAP1160L: diagnostic page lets attackers run arbitrary OS commands

The /htdocs/web/diagnostic.php endpoint on D-Link DAP1160L access points (firmware A1_FW101WWb04) passes input to a shell without sanitizing shell metacharacters. An attacker who can reach the page can run arbitrary operating system commands on the device.
