CVE-2017-11435

Exp

The Humax Wi-Fi Router model HG100R-* 2.0.6 is prone to an authentication bypass vulnerability via specially crafted requests to the management console. The bug is exploitable remotely when the router is configured to expose the management console. The router is not validating the session token while returning answers for some methods in url '/api'. An attacker can use this vulnerability to retrieve sensitive information such as private/public IP addresses, SSID names, and passwords.

9.8 3.1 CRITICAL
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
