Description An authorization flaw exists in the API of Moxa network security appliances and routers. An authenticated, low-privileged user can create a new administrator account, even with a username that matches an existing user. This could allow an attacker to gain full administrative control over the device. Successful exploitation impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device. The /api endpoint is involved in this issue, allowing unauthorized account creation through a flaw in the createAccount() function. The vulnerable parameter is username.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
