Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionNVD
Improper Authentication (Authentication Bypass) exists in Neterbit NW-431F Router 20241014-IR03 and before. The router uses a weak/predictable cookie value for authentication. By modifying the cookie value (e.g., setting it to "admin"), an attacker can bypass the authentication schema and gain unauthorized access to admin functionalities.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Neterbit NW-431F routers running firmware 20241014-IR03 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative access by simply setting a session cookie value to a predictable string such as 'admin'. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects trivial network exploitability with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and a public proof-of-concept exists in the referenced GitHub repository, though the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the web-based management interface of the Neterbit NW-431F SOHO router. Rather than issuing cryptographically random session tokens after a successful login, the device accepts a static, guessable cookie value as proof of authenticated state. This is a textbook Improper Authentication weakness (conceptually CWE-287/CWE-798/CWE-602, though no CWE was assigned in the source data) where authentication enforcement is delegated to a client-controlled value with insufficient entropy. The supplied CPE string is a placeholder ('cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*'), so authoritative CPE-based product matching is not yet available in NVD tooling.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the Neterbit site (https://neterbit.com/) should be monitored for a firmware update superseding 20241014-IR03. Until a fixed firmware is published, restrict access to the router's HTTP/HTTPS administration interface to trusted LAN segments only by disabling any remote/WAN management option in the device settings, and place the admin interface behind a VLAN or management network unreachable from guest/IoT networks; the trade-off is loss of remote administration convenience. Additionally, block inbound TCP to the router's admin port from the WAN at any upstream firewall, and where feasible replace affected devices with supported alternatives given the trivial exploitability.
