CVE-2024-3080
Overview
The vulnerability is an authentication bypass affecting the ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 router. It arises from improper validation of authentication credentials within the device's management interface, allowing unauthenticated access. The affected component is the router's web-based administration interface, which fails to enforce authentication checks on certain endpoints.
Vulnerability Description
Certain ASUS router models have authentication bypass vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to log in the device.
Impact
An unauthenticated remote attacker can gain administrative access to the ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 router, enabling full control over device configuration and management. No user interaction or prior authentication is required, as indicated by CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. This can lead to unauthorized network access, data interception, and potential lateral movement within the affected network environment.
Solution
ASUS has released firmware updates addressing this authentication bypass vulnerability for the ZenWiFi XT8 model. Users should apply the latest firmware versions as detailed in the TW-CERT advisories (https://www.twcert.org.tw/tw/cp-132-7859-0e104-1.html and https://www.twcert.org.tw/en/cp-139-7860-760b1-2.html). The advisories provide specific instructions for updating the device to remediate the issue. No alternative workarounds are officially recommended.
