CVE-2026-36604 Details
Description
Mercusys AC12G (EU) V1 router with firmware AC12G(EU)_V1_200909 does not validate the HTTP Host header, enabling DNS rebinding attacks. An external attacker can rebind a domain to the router's internal IP address, extending the CORS wildcard vulnerability (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) to internet-originated attacks.
A vulnerability in the Mercusys AC12G (EU) V1 router, running firmware AC12G(EU)_V1_200909, allows for DNS rebinding attacks due to improper validation of the HTTP Host header. This flaw enables external attackers to rebind a domain to the router's internal IP address, exploiting the CORS wildcard vulnerability (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) to launch internet-originated attacks. The issue arises because the router's DNS resolver (Unbound 1.22.0) fails to filter private IP addresses in DNS responses, and the HTTP server accepts requests with any Host header value, including external domain names.
Users are advised to configure the DNS resolver to block private IP addresses in responses, validate the Host header against the router's hostname and IP addresses, and remove the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header from all responses.
