DescriptionCVE.org

WNC T-Mobile 5G Box IDU router contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the portal.cgi component. The session verification mechanism improperly validates the sessionid cookie by checking for the existence of a corresponding file in /tmp/login_user. An attacker can bypass authentication by using directory entries such as "." or ".." in the cookie, allowing unauthorized access to the administration panel.This issue has been fixed in firmware version 1.1.0.651412

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in the WNC T-Mobile 5G Box IDU router lets an attacker on the adjacent network reach the portal.cgi administration interface and log in without credentials by setting the sessionid cookie to a directory entry such as '.' or '..' that always exists under /tmp/login_user. The flaw affects firmware versions before 1.1.0.651412 and requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration - only network adjacency to the device (LAN or Wi-Fi side), since the assessed vector is AV:A. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the router's portal.cgi administration interface - per the AV:A vector this is the adjacent/local network (LAN or Wi-Fi side) rather than the public internet by default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine, high-priority flaw for exposed devices. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor-released firmware update to version 1.1.0.651412, which CERT-PL confirms fixes the improper session validation in portal.cgi; per the provided data a patch is available from the vendor, so affected owners should upgrade through T-Mobile/WNC's normal firmware distribution channel and verify the installed build string afterward. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all WNC T-Mobile 5G Box IDU units in the fleet, confirm their firmware levels, and treat any device running a version below 1.1.0.651412 as exposed; where immediate upgrade is not possible, isolate those devices onto a dedicated network segment with no path to corporate resources, disable remote administration reachable from the LAN/Wi-Fi side, and restrict administrative access to trusted hosts. …
