The issue concerns improper access control on certain interfaces, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. This includes data about devices on the local area network, such as IP and MAC addresses, and WPA passphrases for wireless networks. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it can expose the administrative interface password if the same password is used for the wireless network and the administrative interface. When Remote Management is enabled, the vulnerable endpoints are exposed to the WAN.
