| Impact | CVSS 7.8 (High) with a vector of AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates this is a high-impact vulnerability with favorable attack conditions for local network attackers. The local attack vector (AV:L) limits exposure to attackers on the same network segment but is typical for router/gateway vulnerabilities. Low attack complexity and low privilege requirements significantly increase exploitability—an attacker needs minimal credentials or network position. The high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability suggests complete system compromise is possible (e.g., data exfiltration, configuration modification, denial of service). Without EPSS scores or KEV confirmation, real-world prioritization should consider: (1) the device's network exposure (internal vs. internet-facing), (2) whether the low-privilege account requirement aligns with typical IoT/network device deployments, and (3) patch adoption rates in customer bases. For organizations running QuRouter versions before 2.5.0.140, this warrants immediate assessment and patching, particularly if devices are internet-accessible or in untrusted network segments. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker gains access to the internal network segment where a QuRouter device operates (e.g., via compromised employee device, rogue WiFi access point, or guest network). The attacker uses a low-privilege account (such as a guest or read-only service account) already present on the network or environment. Due to improper authentication in the QuRouter's management API or inter-service communication, the attacker bypasses authentication controls without user interaction and escalates to full administrative access. From this position, the attacker modifies router configurations, intercepts traffic, exfiltrates data, or disables security functions. Attack complexity is low because exploitation is straightforward—likely a direct API call or service exploitation requiring no unusual techniques. No proof-of-concept availability is confirmed in the provided intelligence, but the low attack complexity suggests one could be developed or may already exist in security research communities. |

CVE-2024-13088 is an improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) affecting QHora/QuRouter that allows local network attackers with low privileges to compromise system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability requires local network access and low privileges but no user interaction, making it a significant risk for networked environments. Patch versions QuRouter 2.5.0.140 and later are available, though KEV/EPSS data and active exploitation status are not confirmed in the provided intelligence.
RemediationAI
Upgrade QuRouter firmware to version 2.5.0.140 or later; priority: Critical; details: Vendor has confirmed the vulnerability is fixed in QuRouter 2.5.0.140 and subsequent releases. Organizations should prioritize deployment of this patch or later versions. Workaround/Mitigation: Network Segmentation; details: Restrict local network access to QuRouter devices through network access control lists (ACLs), firewall rules, or VLAN segmentation. Limit access to management interfaces to trusted administrative networks only. Workaround/Mitigation: Privilege Access Management; details: Enforce strong authentication for any local network accounts with elevated privileges. Implement network monitoring to detect unauthorized authentication attempts or unusual access patterns. Detection: Monitor logs for suspicious authentication events on QuRouter management interfaces or local services; details: Enable detailed logging and review authentication failures, privilege escalation attempts, and configuration changes.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability stems from improper authentication mechanisms in QHora/QuRouter network devices (CWE-287 - Improper Authentication). This class of weakness indicates the device fails to properly verify the identity of users, processes, or systems before granting access to resources. Based on the CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L), the authentication bypass occurs at the local network level, suggesting the device's management interface, inter-process communication, or local service authentication is flawed. The low attack complexity indicates the exploitation method is straightforward and does not require special conditions or techniques. QHora appears to be a networking product line with QuRouter as a specific model variant.

3DescriptionCVE.org
An improper authentication vulnerability has been reported to affect QHora. If an attacker gains local network access, they can then exploit the vulnerability to compromise the security of the system.
We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following version: QuRouter 2.5.0.140 and later
Zero Day Initiative Advisories
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2024-13088 is a high-severity authentication bypass in QHora/QuRouter that allows attackers on the local network with minimal privileges to fully compromise affected systems without user interaction. Organizations running QuRouter versions prior to 2.5.0.140 face immediate risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability across networked devices, particularly in environments where lateral movement is feasible.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: implement strict network access controls to limit local network connectivity to QuRouter devices, enforce role-based access restrictions for low-privilege accounts, and isolate affected systems from trusted internal networks pending patch deployment.
