Unauthenticated NAT bypass via WAN-exposed UPnP control
Published Aug 21, 2026 · Updated Aug 21, 2026
Missing authentication in Calix GigaSpire 7u10txg EXOS 6.6.47 and earlier allows remote attackers to modify NAT mappings via SOAP requests. MiniUPnPd 2.3.7 binds the /ctl/IPConn WANIPConnection control endpoint to the public WAN interface on TCP port 5000 and accepts mapping and query actions without authenticating requests. The default UPnP-enabled configuration exposes the endpoint; arbitrary forwarding rules bypass the NAT and firewall boundary and publish internal LAN services to the internet.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
