Root code execution via cross-site application upload
Published Jul 7, 2023 · Updated Nov 13, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in MultiTech Conduit AP MTCAP2-L4E1 firmware 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The mPower API accepts JSON through a hidden data query parameter on every endpoint, allowing cross-site form submissions to bypass the usual JSON same-origin restriction. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to visit an attacker-controlled site, which uploads and installs a custom application whose Install file runs as root.
