WLAN password change via forged browser request
Published Nov 23, 2022 · Updated Apr 29, 2025
CSRF in Optilink OP-XT71000N hardware 2.2 with firmware OP_V3.3.1-191028 allows remote attackers to change the WLAN password. The wlwpa.asp handler processes a crafted cross-origin form submission as a password-change request; public material does not identify the missing request-validation control. Exploitation requires a user to load attacker-controlled content in a browser that can reach the router, and the consequence is limited to changing wireless access credentials.
