Nec · Nec Aterm Wg2600Hp2 · CVE-2017-12575
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
NEC Aterm WG2600HP2 version 1.0.2
Description:
An issue was discovered in the NEC Aterm WG2600HP2 router, which has a set of web service APIs for accessing and setting up the configuration. Some of these APIs do not require authentication, allowing an attacker to exploit this issue by sending a crafted HTTP request to retrieve sensitive information, such as DHCP clients, firmware version, and network status. For example, an attacker could use a command like `curl -X http://[IP]/aterm httpif.cgi/negotiate -d "REQ ID=SUPPORT IF GET"` to exploit this.
Recommendations:
For NEC Aterm WG2600HP2 version 1.0.2, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `aterm httpif.cgi` API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `REQ ID` parameter with the value `SUPPORT IF GET` in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
