Description
A security flaw has been discovered in GL.iNet A1300, AX1800, AXT1800, BE1400, BE3600, BE6500, BE9300, BE10000, E5800, MT2500, MT3000, MT3600BE, MT5000, MT6000, X2000, X3000 and XE3000 up to 4.8.x. Affected by this issue is the function ui.update_langs of the component Language Update. Performing a manipulation of the argument hour/min/week results in code injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The vendor explains: "After our investigation, we have confirmed that the vulnerability described (...) does indeed exist."

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw in the ui.update_langs function of the Language Update component allows an attacker to inject arbitrary code by manipulating the hour/min/week arguments. This code injection, covered by CWE-74 and CWE-94, can lead to remote code execution, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device. The description states the attack can be initiated remotely.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects a broad range of GL.iNet routers, including the A1300, AX1800, AXT1800, BE1400, BE3600, BE6500, BE9300, BE10000, E5800, MT2500, MT3000, MT3600BE, MT5000, MT6000, X2000, X3000, and XE3000, all running firmware versions up to 4.8.x. The impacted products are enumerated by the vendor and no narrower subversion limits are specified.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, and no EPSS score is available, so the exploitation frequency is uncertain. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is remote manipulation of the language update interface, requiring the attacker to send crafted hour/min/week parameters to the ui.update_langs endpoint. The weaknesses involve CWE-74 (HTML/URL injection) and CWE-94 (dynamic code execution), highlighting the risk of arbitrary code execution if the interface is reachable.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest firmware revision from GL.iNet that includes the fix for the ui.update_langs code injection flaw.
  • If a firmware update is not immediately available, limit external access to the language update interface by configuring firewall rules or network ACLs to allow only trusted local management interfaces.
  • Continuously monitor the device’s logs for unexpected language update requests or abnormal parameter values, and investigate any anomalies promptly.
