Remote code execution via unauthenticated form access
Published Jul 22, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Authentication bypass in Q-Free MAXTIME ic 1.9.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the controller web interface. The generateForm.cgi handler returns formID 142 without authentication, exposing the web-security page where authentication can be disabled or stored credentials read. No account or user interaction is required; access permits traffic timing changes, sequence modification, or a four-way-flash service interruption.
