Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the session management of the web UI. A remote non-authenticated attacker can brute force to determine a current session identifier and then reuse it to take over an ongoing session or by crafting a new, valid session identifier and bypassing the whole authentication mechanism.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the affected device.

Mitigation
