Description
A vulnerability was determined in Linksys E5600 1.1.0.26. Affected is an unknown function of the file /cgi-bin/mesh_login.cgi of the component Login Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to improper authentication. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in the Linksys E5600 router, specifically in the firmware version 1.1.0.26. The issue resides in the login handler component, within the file '/cgi-bin/mesh_login.cgi'. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to manipulate the login process by sending a username hashed as the SHA-256 of an empty string and an empty password. The router mistakenly validates this as a legitimate login, granting access to an administrative session. This flaw is present in devices that are no longer supported by the manufacturer.
