Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Belkin N300 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender versions prior to 1.04.10
Description
The issue allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via various parameters in different requests. Specifically, it affects the
sub dir parameter in a "formUSBStorage" request, pinCode parameter in "formWpsStart" or "formiNICWpsStart" requests, wps enrolee pin parameter in a "formWlanSetupWPS" request, and unspecified parameters in "formWlanMP", "formBSSetSitesurvey", "formHwSet", or "formConnectionSetting" requests.Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.04.10, update the firmware to version 1.04.10 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable API endpoints, such as "formUSBStorage", "formWpsStart", "formiNICWpsStart", "formWlanSetupWPS", "formWlanMP", "formBSSetSitesurvey", "formHwSet", and "formConnectionSetting", until the firmware can be updated.
Avoid using the
sub dir, pinCode, and wps enrolee pin parameters in the affected requests until the issue is resolved. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
