TRENDnet TPL-430AP | FW1.0

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability is exploited by a malicious actor who can send multiple connection requests to the server. As the USERLIMIT_GLOBAL option is set to 0, this allows unlimited concurrent connections from users, leading to resource exhaustion, and ultimately, a Denial of Service attack.

Conceptual Example Code

In a real-world scenario, the attacker would generate a large amount of connection requests to the server, something like the following pseudocode:

import socket
def create_connection(target_ip, target_port):
try:
socket.create_connection((target_ip, target_port))
except Exception as e:
pass
target_ip = "192.168.0.1"
target_port = 21
while True:
create_connection(target_ip, target_port)

In this example, an attacker could run this script from multiple machines, generating a significant number of connections to the server, leading to resource exhaustion and a potential Denial of Service attack.

Security Mitigation

To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor’s patch when it becomes available. In the meantime, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could be used as a temporary mitigation measure.

Overview

The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-44650, affects Netgear R7000 and EAX80 routers. This vulnerability is due to the USERLIMIT_GLOBAL option setting in the bftpd.conf configuration file, which could potentially cause Denial of Service (DoS) attacks when unlimited users are connected.

Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

Netgear R7000 | V1.3.1.64_10.1.36
Netgear EAX80 | V1.0.1.70_1.0.2

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability exists due to a misconfiguration in the bftpd.conf file of the affected devices, where the USERLIMIT_GLOBAL option is set to 0. This allows unlimited simultaneous connections to the device, overloading its capabilities and causing a Denial of Service. Additionally, with a high volume of users, an attacker might be able to exploit this setting to gain unauthorized access or cause data leakage.

Conceptual Example Code

The vulnerability does not involve a specific malicious payload but rather the exploitation of a misconfiguration. An attacker would attempt to connect multiple clients to the server concurrently, overloading the server and causing DoS. Conceptually, it might look like this:

for i in {1..1000}
do
nc target.example.com 21 &
done

This shell command attempts to create 1000 simultaneous connections to the FTP server on port 21, which could potentially cause a DoS given the misconfiguration.

Mitigation Guidance

Users are advised to apply the patch provided by the vendor as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can temporarily mitigate the issue by limiting the number of simultaneous connections.
