Device reconfiguration via missing CSRF validation
Published Apr 9, 2021 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
CSRF in WiFi-soft UniBox 2.4 allows remote attackers to reconfigure hotspot controllers through crafted management requests. The management interface accepts state-changing requests at five endpoints without validating a CSRF token, while network-trace also fails to sanitize its filter parameter. An authenticated administrator must open the crafted URL; injected script can access that browser session and support account takeover or device reconfiguration.
