Impact

The httpcon_check_session_url function in the Session Validation component of the EFM ipTIME A3004T router is designed to verify session integrity, but an implementation flaw fails to enforce proper authentication. An attacker can craft malformed HTTP requests that bypass this check, gaining unauthorized administrative control over the device. This flaw aligns with CWE‑287 (Improper Authentication) and enables attackers to execute any configuration, update, or firmware operations as if they were legitimate users.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is documented for the EFM ipTIME A3004T 14.19.0 firmware. No other versions are explicitly listed, so the scope is limited to that release until further notice.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 10, the flaw poses a critical risk. Although the EPSS score is unavailable, the public disclosure and the lack of an official vendor response suggest a high likelihood of exploitation. Attackers can target the device over the network, presumably via the management interface, by sending crafted requests to the httpcon_check_session_url endpoint. Because the vulnerability directly undermines authentication, it effectively turns the router into a remote command‑execution vector, and the flaw is not included in the CISA KEV catalog yet.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any available firmware update that fixes the session validation flaw in httpcon_check_session_url.
  • If no update is available, limit external access to the router’s management interface by placing it on a separate VLAN, applying firewall rules to block HTTP traffic to the endpoint from untrusted networks, or disabling remote management entirely.
  • Enable logging and monitor authentication events on the device for signs of unauthorized activity, and consider adding a secondary layer of authentication if supported.
