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 | Exploitation requires that a valid administrator have an active authenticated session to the terminal's web management interface and that this administrator visit attacker-controlled web content while that session is live (UI:A / user interaction is mandatory). The concrete trigger is a cross-site POST to the /api/reboot endpoint, which succeeds specifically because the session cookie is issued without a SameSite attribute and the endpoint performs no CSRF token validation. Limiting factors: the attack cannot proceed against an unauthenticated or logged-out admin, it depends on the admin's browser being reachable to attacker content, and the management interface must be network-reachable from the victim's browsing context; the payload is fixed to a reboot, so impact is availability/state-change only, not data disclosure. |
| Impact | The vendor CVSS 4.0 score is 7.0 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H - network reachable, low complexity, no attacker privileges, but requiring active user interaction (a logged-in admin must visit attacker content). Impact is confined to integrity (unauthorized state change) and availability (device reboot / link loss); there is no confidentiality impact and no scope change. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided, so exploitation probability signals are absent - this should be treated as a plausible-but-unproven risk rather than confirmed active exploitation. The realistic ceiling is denial-of-service against satellite connectivity, not code execution or data theft, so priority is driven by how critical uptime is for a given OT/ICS deployment. Note the UI:A requirement materially limits mass exploitation: the attacker must socially engineer a specific authenticated operator, making this better suited to targeted disruption than opportunistic scanning. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a web page containing an auto-submitting hidden form (or fetch) that POSTs to https://<terminal>/api/reboot and lures a currently logged-in iDirect administrator to open it via phishing or a watering-hole link. The victim's browser automatically attaches the session cookie (no SameSite protection), the terminal accepts the forged request with no CSRF token, and the device reboots, dropping the satellite link; the attacker repeats delivery to sustain the outage. No public exploit code is currently identified, but the technique is trivial given AC:L. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 10, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in ST Engineering iDirect satellite terminals (Evolution iQ-series, including the iQ200, plus 3315-series and 9-series) lets a remote attacker force an authenticated administrator's browser to submit a POST to the /api/reboot endpoint, rebooting the modem and dropping the satellite link. Because the session cookie lacks a SameSite attribute and no CSRF token is validated, simply luring a logged-in admin to a malicious page triggers the reboot; repeated abuse sustains a denial-of-service against connectivity. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; consult the CISA advisory (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-183-01) and the iDirect support portal (https://support.idirect.net/s/login) for firmware updates and apply the vendor-recommended fixed release once published. As compensating controls, restrict management-interface access to a dedicated out-of-band or VLAN-segmented network so administrators cannot browse the general web while holding an active terminal session (trade-off: added operational overhead for admins). Enforce that administrators log out of the terminal UI immediately after use to eliminate the standing authenticated session the attack depends on, and consider a browser/network policy that blocks admin workstations from arbitrary external sites during management sessions. If the platform supports it, place the management UI behind a reverse proxy that adds Origin/Referer checking or a synchronizer token, and if configurable, set the session cookie to SameSite=Strict - these reduce cross-site submission at the cost of possible UI compatibility testing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected devices are ST Engineering iDirect Evolution satellite ground terminals/modems that expose a web-based management API. The root cause is CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery): state-changing endpoints such as /api/reboot authorize requests solely on the presence of a session cookie and do not require an anti-CSRF token or verify request origin. Compounding this, the session cookie is set without the SameSite attribute, so browsers attach it to cross-site POST requests. This combination means any page an authenticated admin visits can drive privileged actions in the terminal's management plane. CPE data confirms the affected products as cpe:2.3:a:st_engineering_idirect:evolution_iq-series_terminals, cpe:2.3:a:st_engineering_idirect:3315-series, and cpe:2.3:a:st_engineering_idirect:9-series_terminals.

DescriptionCVE.org
The iDirect iQ200 does not validate CSRF tokens on state-changing API endpoints after authentication. The /api/reboot endpoint accepts POST requests authenticated solely by a session cookie that lacks the SameSite attribute. A remote attacker can host a malicious web page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, automatically submits a cross-site POST request causing an immediate device reboot and satellite link loss. Repeated attacks can sustain a denial-of-service condition.
Executive ViewAI
ST Engineering iDirect satellite terminals (Evolution iQ-series, 3315-series, 9-series) are vulnerable to unauthenticated cross-site request forgery attacks that force authenticated administrators to reboot modems and drop satellite connectivity. An attacker can trigger sustained denial-of-service by luring an admin to a malicious webpage-no special privileges or exploit code required. For organizations dependent on these terminals for mission-critical satellite links, this creates material risk to communications availability and operational continuity.
Pending vendor patch availability: (1) Implement network access controls restricting /api/reboot endpoint to authorized administration networks and VPN access only; (2) Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block POST requests to /api/reboot from unexpected origins; (3) Enforce CORS restrictions on sensitive endpoints if configurable within the iDirect management interface; (4) Monitor authenticated admin sessions for unusual activity patterns and alert on rapid successive reboot commands; (5) Restrict administrator access to trusted networks and implement VPN requirements for remote administration; (6) Configure SameSite=Strict cookie attribute if available in terminal firmware configuration.
