"Authenticate and browse to /setup.cgi? ... All the fields you see are vulnerables to command execution as root." So what kind of credentials are used for the initial authentication? Unprivileged? Then it should be mentioned as such. Otherwise, I can point out a few dozen embedded systems with web UIs that allow me to make configuration changes after authentication because that's why they're there. Now if you can point out a way to bypass authentication or escalate privileges from an account that doesn't normally have write access, you've got a vulnerability. I was merely asking how this differed from any other auth wall. -Gary _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
