CVE-2026-36603 Details
Description
Mercusys AC12G (EU) V1 router with firmware AC12G(EU)_V1_200909 exposes 15 of 18 UPnP IGD actions without authentication on port 1900, including AddPortMapping and GetExternalIPAddress. UPnP is enabled by default through the admin interface, allowing any unauthenticated LAN device to create arbitrary port forwarding rules and access WAN traffic statistics.
A vulnerability exists in the Mercusys AC12G (EU) V1 router, specifically in the firmware version AC12G(EU)_V1_200909. The router's UPnP IGD implementation on port 1900 exposes 15 out of 18 actions without authentication. This includes critical functions such as AddPortMapping, which allows arbitrary NAT port forwarding, and GetExternalIPAddress, which reveals the WAN IP address. UPnP is enabled by default and cannot be disabled through the admin interface, leaving any unauthenticated LAN device free to manipulate port forwarding rules and access WAN traffic statistics.
Users are advised to implement UPnP authentication or access controls, provide an option to disable UPnP entirely, restrict the AddPortMapping action to the requesting client's IP address, and rate-limit UPnP operations.
