Descriptions
An issue was discovered on NETGEAR R8500, R8300, R7000, R6400, R7300, R7100LG, R6300v2, WNDR3400v3, WNR3500Lv2, R6250, R6700, R6900, and R8000 devices. They are prone to password disclosure via simple crafted requests to the web management server. The bug is exploitable remotely if the remote management option is set, and can also be exploited given access to the router over LAN or WLAN. When trying to access the web panel, a user is asked to authenticate; if the authentication is canceled and password recovery is not enabled, the user is redirected to a page that exposes a password recovery token. If a user supplies the correct token to the page /passwordrecovered.cgi?id=TOKEN (and password recovery is not enabled), they will receive the admin password for the router. If password recovery is set the exploit will fail, as it will ask the user for the recovery questions that were previously set when enabling that feature. This is persistent (even after disabling the recovery option, the exploit will fail) because the router will ask for the security questions.
Se ha descubierto un problema en dispositivos NETGEAR R8500, R8300, R7000, R6400, R7300, R7100LG, R6300v2, WNDR3400v3, WNR3500Lv2, R6250, R6700, R6900 y R8000. Son propensos a revelar la contraseña a través de peticiones simples manipuladas al servidor de gestión de la web. El error es explotable remotamente si la opción de gestión remota está activada, y también puede ser explotado dado el acceso al router a través de LAN o WLAN. Cuando se trata de acceder al panel web, se pide al usuario que se autentique; si la autenticación se cancela y la recuperación de contraseña no está habilitada, el usuario es redirigido a una página que revela un token de recuperación de contraseña. Si un usuario proporciona el token correcto a la página /passwordrecovered.cgi?id=TOKEN (y la recuperación de contraseña no está habilitada), recibirán la contraseña de administrador para el router. Si la recuperación de contraseña está habilitada, la explotación fallará, ya que pedirá al usuario preguntas para la recuperación que fueron previamente establecidas cuando se habilitó esa característica. Esto es persistente (incluso tras la inhabilitación de la opción de recuperación, la explotación fallará) porque el router preguntará por las preguntas de seguridad.
