CVE-2024-27497Known exploitation

Unauthenticated device access via exposed position.js

Published Mar 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 16, 2024

Authentication bypass in Linksys E2000 Firmware 1.0.06 build 1 allows remote attackers to access the router through position.js. The web interface serves position.js without authentication, exposing session-key client logic that normally supports authenticated administration. Adjacent-network reachability to the browser-based administration service is required, and the published consequence is unauthorized device access.
