MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must trick an authenticated admin user into clicking a malicious link or visiting a crafted page while the admin is logged into the router's web interface. No special configuration is required beyond default settings. The attack is remote but requires user interaction (UI:P). |
| Impact | CVSS 4.0 base score is 2.1 (Low) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, indicating low impact and requiring user interaction. EPSS score is 0.05% (16th percentile), suggesting very low exploitation probability. Public exploit code is available, but no CISA KEV listing. The risk is low due to the need for user interaction and limited impact (integrity only, no confidentiality or availability). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a malicious webpage containing a crafted request to the router's reboot endpoint. If an authenticated admin visits the page while logged into the router, the router reboots, causing temporary denial of service. Public exploit code is available. |
