Administrator session hijacking via unrestricted show_allsessions callback
Published Jun 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Improper privilege management in Zyxel NAS326 and NAS542 firmware allows remote authenticated users to steal administrator session tokens. The show_allsessions callback returns every authenticated user's authtok value and interface MAC addresses to any signed-in account without enforcing administrator authorization. A valid low-privileged account is required, and a disclosed administrator token grants administrator access to the device.
