Official Description

cgi-bin/admin/servetest in TP-Link IP Cameras TL-SC3130, TL-SC3130G, TL-SC3171, TL-SC3171G, and possibly other models before beta firmware LM.1.6.18P12_sign6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in (1) the ServerName parameter and (2) other unspecified parameters.

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

The vulnerability is exploited by injecting shell metacharacters into the ServerName parameter and possibly other parameters of the cgi-bin/admin/servetest endpoint. This can lead to command injection, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server process.
