Description
MikroTik RouterOS through 7.24.5 contains a session token replay vulnerability in the WebFig interface that allows attackers to bypass authentication by replaying captured session tokens across new ECDH sessions. The makeSessionKey function in libucrypto.so generates tokens using fixed salts without incorporating channel-specific or session-specific input, and the user service validates tokens against the login store without verifying channel context, enabling stolen tokens to grant persistent administrative access until the token store is explicitly cleared. This vulnerability extends the impact of CVE-2025-61481, which identified the underlying transport-layer exposure without a corresponding fix.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw occurs in the WebFig session handling of MikroTik RouterOS versions up to 7.24.5. The makeSessionKey routine constructs session tokens from a fixed salt that does not include any channel‑ or session‑specific data. Consequently the user service validates any token that matches the login store without checking the channel context, allowing an attacker to replay a captured token on a new ECDH session and obtain full administrative control until the token store is expressly cleared. This is an authentication bypass and provides a foothold for further compromise.

Affected Systems

MikroTik RouterOS, versions 7.0 to 7.24.5, running the libucrypto.so component. The vulnerability is present in all routers that expose the WebFig interface and extends the exposure identified in CVE‑2025‑61481.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.1 the issue is deemed critical. While the EPSS score is not available, the lack of channel validation means an attacker can exploit the flaw remotely simply by intercepting a valid session token. The vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the impact and ease of exploitation make it a high‑priority target for attackers. The attack vector is remote over the network where WebFig is reachable; an attacker only needs to capture a legitimate session token and replay it on a new ECDH session to succeed.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Clear the session token store or reset administrative credentials to remove any retained tokens.
  • Restrict access to the WebFig interface via firewall rules or disable it entirely, limiting exposure to trusted administrators only.
  • Monitor for vendor advisories or updates, and apply any future fixes as they become available.
