CVE-2026-40857Network attack vector

Unauthorized router actions via arbitrary CSRF tokens

Published Sep 16, 2026 · Updated Sep 16, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in WNC T-Mobile 5G Box IDU firmware before 1.1.0.651412 allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions. The portal.cgi anti-CSRF check accepts any csrf_token_value parameter instead of validating it against the authenticated session. Exploitation requires an authenticated user to visit an attacker-controlled website, and resulting requests act with that user's authority.
