What to do
AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately restrict network access to the /cgi-bin/gstFcgi.fcgi endpoint by implementing firewall rules or access control lists to limit exposure to trusted management networks only. Network segmentation should be enforced to isolate these devices from general IT networks and the internet. Monitoring and logging access attempts to the device management interface should be enhanced to detect unauthorized activity. Axel Technology should be contacted for firmware updates or patches; if none are available, consider temporary mitigations such as disabling the vulnerable service or replacing affected devices. Additionally, organizations should conduct thorough audits of user accounts on these devices to detect unauthorized changes and enforce strong password policies. Incident response plans should be updated to include detection and remediation steps for this vulnerability. Finally, organizations should evaluate their supply chain and asset inventories to identify all affected devices and prioritize remediation accordingly.
Description
The Axel Technology WOLF1MS and WOLF2MS devices (firmware versions 0.8.5 to 1.0.3) are vulnerable to Broken Access Control due to missing authentication on the /cgi-bin/gstFcgi.fcgi endpoint. Unauthenticated remote attackers can list user accounts, create new administrative users, delete users, and modify system settings, leading to full compromise of the device.
