Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the local network to trusted users only and consider isolating the router management interface from untrusted LAN segments. Monitor vendor communications for updates regarding patches or official mitigations.

Description

Netis AC1200 Router NC21 version 4.0.1.4296 has an unauthenticated CGI endpoint (/cgi-bin/skk_get.cgi) that returns the full router configuration in JSON format. This includes sensitive information such as administrator credentials, WiFi passwords, PPPoE credentials, DDNS credentials, and a map of connected devices. Any attacker on the local network can exploit this by sending a single HTTP GET request without needing authentication. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information).
