|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the WebFig management interface to be in use and reachable, and critically requires the attacker to have already captured a valid administrator session token - the flaw is token replay, not token forgery. The makeSessionKey function's use of fixed salts with no channel- or session-specific input, plus the user service's failure to verify channel context, are the specific defects that let a captured token be replayed across new ECDH sessions. Limiting factors: the attacker must obtain a token out-of-band (e.g., via the unfixed exposure of CVE-2025-61481), reflected by CVSS AC:H; no user interaction is needed once a token is held; and persistent access continues only until the device's token store is explicitly cleared, so clearing the login store is a direct mitigation. Devices with WebFig not exposed to untrusted networks are not realistically reachable. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue for exposed WebFig management interfaces, but its real-world risk is materially gated by a precondition that the raw 9.1 score obscures. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) scores PR:N because replaying a stolen token bypasses authentication outright, yet it correctly assigns AC:H - the attacker must first capture a valid session token, which is not trivial from a network-only position. The underlying token-capture exposure comes from CVE-2025-61481 (transport-layer exposure that was never fixed), so exploitation realistically chains the two: this CVE is the authentication-bypass payoff once a token is obtained. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active exploitation or weaponization - status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' SSVC framing: technical impact is total (full administrative access), but automatability is constrained by the token-capture dependency, so this reads as a credible targeted-risk vulnerability rather than a mass-exploitation worm candidate. The 9.1/Critical rating is driven by the high confidentiality and integrity impact (full admin control) combined with network reachability; defenders should weight it as high but not treat it as drive-by-remote until a token-capture vector is confirmed reachable in their deployment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has captured a victim administrator's WebFig session token (for example by leveraging the unfixed transport-layer exposure of CVE-2025-61481) replays that token against a new ECDH session on the same RouterOS device. Because makeSessionKey uses fixed salts and the user service validates tokens without checking channel or session context, the replayed token is accepted and grants persistent administrative access that survives new sessions until the token store is manually cleared. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS AC:H reflects that the attacker must already possess a valid captured token. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Session token replay in the WebFig management interface of MikroTik RouterOS (through 7.24.5) lets an attacker who already possesses a captured administrator session token bypass authentication and gain persistent administrative access, because tokens stay valid across newly negotiated ECDH sessions until the device's login store is explicitly cleared. The 9.1 CVSS v4 score reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact, but its AC:H rating is meaningful: the attacker must first obtain a valid token out-of-band, for example through the unfixed transport-layer exposure described in CVE-2025-61481, and no user interaction is needed once a token is held. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV entry exists; devices whose WebFig interface is not reachable from untrusted networks are not realistically exposed.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - RouterOS through 7.24.5 is described as vulnerable and the related CVE-2025-61481 transport-layer exposure as unfixed - so mitigation is configuration-based. Primary action is to remove WebFig reachability from untrusted networks by firewalling the management services to a trusted admin VLAN or address list, or by disabling WebFig entirely (/ip service disable www,www-ssl) and managing via WinBox or SSH over IPsec/VPN; the trade-off is loss of browser-based GUI access and a dependency on a secure management tunnel. To evict any token an attacker may already hold, clear the device's login/token store (remove active sessions under /user active and/or reboot) and rotate administrator credentials, noting that this logs out all legitimate administrators. Because replay requires a previously captured token, closing the CVE-2025-61481 transport exposure that leaks tokens is essential - treat any management path where tokens could be observed as compromised, and monitor for unexpected admin logins or concurrent sessions. Track the VulnCheck advisory for a firmware update and apply it with priority once released.

Technical ContextAI · show details
RouterOS serves its WebFig web management UI over an ECDH-negotiated transport, and the makeSessionKey function in libucrypto.so derives session tokens from fixed salts without mixing in channel- or session-specific input, so a given token value is not bound to the ECDH session in which it was issued. The user service then validates a presented token against the login store without verifying the channel context, a CWE-613 insufficient session expiration/lifecycle defect in which sessions are neither bound to their originating channel nor invalidated on renegotiation. The consequence is replay rather than forgery: an attacker cannot mint a token, but a stolen one is accepted indefinitely across new sessions until the token store is cleared. The flaw generalizes the unresolved transport-layer exposure of CVE-2025-61481, and the CPE cpe:2.3:a:mikrotik:routeros:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all RouterOS versions up to and including 7.24.5 per the VulnCheck advisory.

DescriptionCVE.org
MikroTik RouterOS through 7.24.5 contains a session token replay vulnerability in the WebFig interface that allows attackers to bypass authentication by replaying captured session tokens across new ECDH sessions. The makeSessionKey function in libucrypto.so generates tokens using fixed salts without incorporating channel-specific or session-specific input, and the user service validates tokens against the login store without verifying channel context, enabling stolen tokens to grant persistent administrative access until the token store is explicitly cleared. This vulnerability extends the impact of CVE-2025-61481, which identified the underlying transport-layer exposure without a corresponding fix.
Executive ViewAI
MikroTik RouterOS devices running versions through 7.24.5 with an exposed WebFig management interface are susceptible to persistent administrative takeover through replay of a previously captured administrator session token. Leadership should treat this as a management-plane exposure issue: organizations with internet-facing or broadly reachable router administration interfaces could face loss of control over network infrastructure, while environments that confine WebFig to trusted, segmented networks carry materially lower risk.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; restrict WebFig to trusted management networks via firewall rules or VPN, disable WebFig where unused, segment the management plane, rotate administrator credentials and clear the device login store to invalidate captured tokens, and monitor authentication logs for session replay.
