Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The vulnerability in the ezconfig.asp file of the Linksys WRT54G router (versions 3.01.03, 3.03.6, and some configurations of 2.04.4) is due to the lack of an authentication initialization function. A remote attacker can obtain encrypted configuration information and, if the key is known, modify the configuration.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves unauthorized reading and modification of the router's configuration, which could lead to device takeover and network security compromise.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the router firmware to the latest available version and, if possible, disable remote access to the ezconfig.asp file or restrict it to trusted IP addresses.
