Description
Cisco DPC2420 Wireless Residential Gateway contains multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, access sensitive information, or conduct cross-site scripting attacks on a targeted system.
The vulnerability is due to improper security restrictions imposed by the affected software. When the remote configuration option is enabled, an attacker could download the configuration file with the parameters of filename.gwc=20 via TCP port 8080. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to access sensitive information that could be used to conduct further attacks.
A second vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input processed by the management web interface. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user with credentials on the targeted device to follow a link that is designed to submit malicious input to be processed by the affected software. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the security context of the affected web interface.
A third vulnerability is due to the authentication type of the web interface on the affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by perform ARP poisoning attacks on a targeted device to obtain the Base64-encoded password. If successful, an attacker could use this information to obtain the plaintext password, which could be use to log in the targeted device.
Proof-of-concept code that demonstrates these vulnerabilities is publicly available.
Cisco has not confirmed these vulnerabilities and software updates are not available.
