Netis WF2880 | v2.1.40207
How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability lies in the FUN_0046ed68 function of the cgitest.cgi file in Netis WF2880. A buffer overflow can be triggered by controlling the ‘wps_set’ value in the payload, leading to a system crash. This crash can then be leveraged by attackers to execute a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, potentially leading to data leakage or full system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual HTTP request that could be used to exploit this vulnerability:
POST /cgitest.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "wps_set": "OVERFLOW VALUE" }In the above code, ‘OVERFLOW VALUE’ would be replaced with a carefully crafted string that causes the buffer overflow, leading to system crash and potential further compromise.
