Boot-log disclosure via unauthenticated UART output
Published May 13, 2025 · Updated May 13, 2025
Information disclosure in CP Plus CP-XR-DE21-S 4G Router firmware 1.031.022 allows local users to read boot logs through the UART port. The exposed UART transmit pins output boot logs without authentication, including hardware addresses, register dumps, firmware version, BLE events, and sensor data. Exploitation requires disassembling the router, soldering its UART pins, and attaching a USB-to-UART converter.
