CVE-2023-32613

Unauthenticated access to privileged router functions

Published Jun 30, 2023 · Updated Dec 5, 2024

Access-control failure in Wavlink WL-WN531AX2 firmware before 2023526 allows attackers to use privileged router functions. Public advisories do not identify the affected endpoint, resource, or authorization check; they state only that login-only functions are exposed. Exploitation requires network adjacency and no authentication, while the specific functions and resulting data exposure or state changes remain undisclosed.
