Description
An improper protection of authentication tokens vulnerability exists in
certain Ebyte gateway products. Authentication tokens used by the web
management interface are insufficiently protected during client-side
session handling, which may allow an attacker with access to exposed
session information to obtain and reuse a valid token. Successful
exploitation could allow an attacker to impersonate an authenticated
user and gain unauthorized access to device management functionality.

AI Analysis

Impact

An authentication token exposed through GET request query strings in the Ebyte NE2-D11 gateway web interface allows attackers with access to visible session information to capture a valid token. The compromised token can be reused to impersonate an authenticated user, giving the attacker full control over device management features. The flaw stems from insufficient protection of authentication tokens during client‑side session handling and is classified as CWE‑598.

Affected Systems

This issue affects the Ebyte NE2-D11 firmware, which is used in certain gateway devices. No additional vendor or product variants were listed, and no version range was supplied in the CNA data; therefore any installed instance of the NE2‑D11 firmware that contains the vulnerable web interface is potentially exposed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 indicates critical severity, and the absence of a publicly available EPSS score means the exploit probability is not quantified but could be high due to the straightforward nature of the attack. The vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no verified exploitation is known at this time. However, the attack vector is likely remote over the network, exploiting the GET‑based web interface; an attacker who can observe or inject traffic to the device can obtain the token and then perform unauthorized management actions.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Ebyte acknowledged receipt of the reported vulnerabilities and indicated that a patch was under development. However, the vendor has not responded to subsequent requests for coordination, and CISA has not been informed of the status or availability of the patch. Users are encouraged to reach out to Ebyte for more information.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Contact Ebyte for patch status and arrange for update when available
  • Disable or restrict the usage of GET requests that expose session tokens in URL parameters or convert the authentication flow to use POST or secure cookies that are not appended to URLs
  • Enable logging of authentication events and monitor logs for anomalous or repeated attempts to reuse tokens or perform privileged operations
