Unauthorized administrative actions via tokenless CGI requests
Published Mar 17, 2026 · Updated Mar 17, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in GS-5008PL firmware 1.00.54 and earlier allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized administrative actions. The web management CGI endpoints accept state-changing requests without anti-CSRF tokens or request-origin validation. A logged-in administrator must visit an attacker-controlled page, which can trigger password changes, firmware uploads, reboots, factory resets, or network configuration changes.
