Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
Compal
Product: ConnectBox - (Wireless) 4.01 - H7465LG-NCIP-4.50.18.15-1-NOSH


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A filter bypass web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Compal Wireless ConnectBox web-application.
The filter bypass web vulnerability allows an attacker to evade the controls of a restriction- or protection mechanism.

The issue allows an attacker to change the wireless passphrase to an insecure passphrase which is forbidden by the 
applications 
javascript engine. The vulnerability affects the `ConnectBox` manufactured by Compal for the local small ISP - 
Unitymedia. 
They are offering high-speed internet access over Cable (TV).

To bypass the filter you only need to replay the POST which changes the wireless passphrase and change the parameters 
`wlPSkey2g` 
and `wlPSkey5g`. The filter won`t allow you to set a passphrase without specialchars or uppercase/lowercase letters. By 
bypassing 
the filter you can set any passphrase (wpa needs at least 8 chars).

The security risk of the filter bypass vulnerability is estimated as medium and the cvss (common vulnerability scoring 
system) count is 5.8. 
Exploitation of the filter bypass vulnerability requires a privileged web-application user account with privileged 
access and medium user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in unauthorized access by setting a low secured passphrase key for 
wpa and wpa2.

Model:                  CH7465LG-LC     
Hardware Version        4.01
Software Version        CH7465LG-NCIP-4.50.18.15-1-NOSH


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers in the local networka with privileged web-application user 
account or privileged access and medium user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information or steps below to continue.
