Dd-Wrt · Dd-Wrt · CVE-2008-6975
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
DD-WRT version 24 sp2
Description:
The issue is related to multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the apply.cgi component. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for various requests, including executing arbitrary commands via the `ping ip` parameter, changing administrative credentials via the `http username` and `http passwd` parameters, enabling remote administration via the `remote management` parameter, and configuring port forwarding via certain `from`, `to`, `ip`, and `pro` parameters. This issue exists due to a weak anti-CSRF fix implemented in version 24 sp2.
Recommendations:
For DD-WRT version 24 sp2, consider disabling the apply.cgi component or restricting access to it until a proper fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the vulnerable parameters, such as `ping ip`, `http username`, `http passwd`, `remote management`, `from`, `to`, `ip`, and `pro`, in the apply.cgi component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
