DescriptionCVE.org

RouterOS WebFig contains an unauthenticated file-read vulnerability in the /jsproxy path where a newly allocated session retains a stale uninitialized principal pointer used for file authorization. An unauthenticated attacker can prepare the allocator so that the file-serving path dereferences this pointer with sufficient rights, then supply parent-directory components in an encrypted URI to escape the WebFig file namespace and disclose root-owned files, including configuration stores containing credentials.This issue was fixed in versions: 6.49.21 (Lont-term), 7.23.4 (Lont-term) and 7.24.2 (Stable)

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated file read in MikroTik RouterOS WebFig exposes root-owned configuration files - including credential stores - to any network attacker who can reach the management interface. The vulnerability chains an uninitialized principal pointer (CWE-824) in /jsproxy session allocation with an encrypted URI path traversal, allowing pre-authentication escalation of file-read rights followed by namespace escape. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The WebFig management interface (HTTP TCP 80 or HTTPS TCP 443) must be reachable by the attacker; WebFig is enabled by default on all RouterOS installations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H) accurately reflects the severity: the endpoint is network-reachable, requires no credentials, imposes no complexity barrier on the attacker, and yields high-confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade RouterOS immediately to 6.49.21 (Long-term), 7.23.4 (Long-term), or 7.24.2 (Stable) per the MikroTik advisory at https://mikrotik.com/supportsec/september-2026-vulnerability/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all MikroTik RouterOS devices and verify firmware versions; isolate any running versions prior to 6.49.21 (LT), 7.23.4 (LT), or 7.24.2 (Stable) from untrusted networks and restrict WebFig access to trusted administrative IPs only. …
