| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network reachability to the RE6250 Web Management Interface and the ability to predict a session_id value that the server compares with strcmp; the root cause is session identifiers generated with insufficient entropy (CWE-330). No authentication is required (PR:N), but exploitation is materially LIMITED by high attack complexity (AC:H) - the attacker must successfully predict or reconstruct a non-random session token, which the CVE itself describes as 'rather high' complexity and 'difficult.' Impact is confined to confidentiality of session-scoped data on this specific firmware (1.0.04.001); there is no integrity or availability impact. Realistic risk is further bounded by the consumer-extender deployment context, where the management interface is not typically internet-exposed by default. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity issue (CVSS 4.0 base 6.3) whose signals are internally consistent and point to limited real-world priority. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated weakness but with HIGH attack complexity, and the description explicitly reinforces this: 'The complexity of an attack is rather high' and 'the exploitability is difficult.' The only impact is low confidentiality (VC:L; VI:N/VA:N), matching the CWE-330 insufficiently-random-values root cause - predictable session_id tokens enable session-related information disclosure, not code execution or integrity loss. Public exploit code exists (GitHub PoC referenced), and the CVSS carries E:P (Proof-of-Concept), so this is credible but not weaponized. There is NO CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided in the input, so widespread automated exploitation cannot be asserted. Net assessment: a genuine but low-urgency flaw - the high complexity, confidentiality-only impact, and consumer-device target make it a far lower priority than its medium CVSS might suggest. The record was authored by VulDB (a researcher aggregator), not the vendor, so affected-version confirmation is single-sourced. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker on a network path to a Linksys RE6250's Web Management Interface observes or collects session_id values and, exploiting their insufficient randomness, predicts or reconstructs a valid session token that the server validates via strcmp. A public proof-of-concept exists, but the attack is rated difficult/high-complexity, so successful prediction likely requires favorable conditions or repeated attempts before the attacker can access session-scoped management data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026
Predictable session identifiers in the Linksys RE6250 Web Management Interface (firmware 1.0.04.001) can expose session-scoped information because session_id values are generated with insufficient randomness and checked with strcmp. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this only by successfully predicting a valid token, a high-complexity condition; publicly available exploit code exists, and the impact is limited to low confidentiality with no integrity or availability effect (CVSS 4.0 base 6.3; assessed CVSS 3.1 C:L/I:N/A:N).
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and the provided references do not specify a fixed firmware version; check Linksys support/vendor site (https://www.linksys.com/) and VulDB (https://vuldb.com/vuln/424944) for an updated RE6250 firmware before relying on the device. Until a fix is confirmed, disable remote/web management exposure and restrict the Web Management Interface to a trusted LAN segment via firewall rules or AP isolation; the trade-off is loss of remote administration and management from guest/VLAN clients. Change default administrative credentials and monitor for unexpected management sessions, though this does not remove the predictable session_id root cause. If the extender is not needed, power it off or replace it; this eliminates exposure but removes the extension function.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the RE6250's web-based management interface, which uses strcmp to validate a session_id parameter. CWE-330 (Use of Insufficiently Random Values) means the session token space is small or predictable enough that an attacker who can reach the management UI may infer an existing session identifier rather than mounting a brute-force or memory-corruption attack. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:linksys:re6250:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the Linksys RE6250 product line, while the report ties the flaw specifically to firmware 1.0.04.001. The assessed vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) confirms remote reachability without authentication but requires substantial predictive effort and yields only read access to data associated with a guessed session. It is not described as a command-injection or memory-safety issue in the supplied data.
