AirSpan WiMAX ProST web management interface authentication bypass vulnerability

Overview

The AirSpan WiMAX ProST contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to make arbitrary configuration changes.

Description

The AirSpan WiMAX ProST is customer premise equipment that provides WiMAX wireless networking. The web management interface of the Airspan WiMax ProST does not properly authenticate HTTP POST requests.

---

Impact

By sending HTTP POST requests to a vulnerable ProST device, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to make arbitrary configuration changes. The attacker could potentially disable the device by uploading an invalid firmware image.

---

Solution

Upgrade

From AirSpan WiMAX product bulletin PB/ASM/2008/016 Rev A:
A new version of SS has been made available as a SW patch to solve the above issue. This new version forms System Release 6.5.2 & 6.6.2 for MicroMAX and HiperMAX systems respectively.

---

Restrict access

Restrict access to the web management interface to trusted networks. If possible, configure management and transit networks for separate VLANs, or restrict access to the device using IP access lists.
