AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately audit their networks to identify the presence of affected GL-iNet devices running firmware version 4.6.2. Until an official patch is released, the following mitigations are recommended: 1) Restrict network access to the /rpc endpoint by implementing firewall rules or access control lists limiting access to trusted management networks only. 2) Disable remote management features if not required, especially those exposing the /rpc endpoint to external networks. 3) Monitor device logs and network traffic for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts targeting the /rpc endpoint. 4) Employ network segmentation to isolate vulnerable devices from critical infrastructure. 5) Contact GL-iNet support or monitor official channels for firmware updates addressing this vulnerability and apply patches promptly once available. 6) Consider replacing affected devices with alternatives that have a stronger security track record if immediate patching is not feasible. 7) Implement intrusion detection systems (IDS) with signatures for directory traversal attempts targeting GL-iNet devices to detect exploitation attempts early.
Description
An issue was discovered on certain GL-iNet devices, including MT6000, MT3000, MT2500, AXT1800, and AX1800 4.6.2. The params parameter in the call method of the /rpc endpoint is vulnerable to arbitrary directory traversal, which enables attackers to execute scripts under any path.
