(Copy of the Homepage: http://ift.tt/1X2Zqxz ) Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The Vulnerability Laboratory Core Research Team discovered a filter bypass web vulnerability in the official Compal Wireless ConnectBox web-application. Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2016-02-03: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Compal Product: ConnectBox - (Wireless) 4.01 - H7465LG-NCIP-4.50.18.15-1-NOSH Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== High Technical Details & Description: ================================ A filter bypass web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Compal Wireless ConnectBox web-application. The filter bypass web vulnerability allows an attacker to evade the controls of a restriction- or protection mechanism. The issue allows an attacker to change the wireless passphrase to an insecure passphrase which is forbidden by the applications javascript engine. The vulnerability affects the `ConnectBox` manufactured by Compal for the local small ISP - Unitymedia. They are offering high-speed internet access over Cable (TV). To bypass the filter you only need to replay the POST which changes the wireless passphrase and change the parameters `wlPSkey2g` and `wlPSkey5g`. The filter won`t allow you to set a passphrase without specialchars or uppercase/lowercase letters. By bypassing the filter you can set any passphrase (wpa needs at least 8 chars). The security risk of the filter bypass vulnerability is estimated as medium and the cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count is 5.8. Exploitation of the filter bypass vulnerability requires a privileged web-application user account with privileged access and medium user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthorized access by setting a low secured passphrase key for wpa and wpa2. Model: CH7465LG-LC Hardware Version 4.01 Software Version CH7465LG-NCIP-4.50.18.15-1-NOSH Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers in the local networka with privileged web-application user account or privileged access and medium user interaction.
