CVE-2018-25317

Tenda W3002R/A302/W309R wireless routers version V5.07.64_en contain a cookie session weakness vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify DNS settings by exploiting insufficient session validation. Attackers can send GET requests to the /goform/AdvSetDns endpoint with a crafted admin language cookie to change primary and secondary DNS servers, redirecting user traffic to malicious DNS servers.

How to read this card

Actively exploited

KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) is CISA's catalog of CVEs confirmed as actively exploited in the real world. If a CVE is on KEV, someone is already using it in attacks.

CVSS 10.0

CVSS 10.0 — máxima severidad teórica. Explotable de forma remota, sin privilegios, con impacto total. Aún no confirmada como explotada en el mundo real, pero parchea ya.
