Summary

Huawei home gateway WS318 with software V100R001C01B022 and earlier versions is affected by the PIN offline brute force cracking vulnerability of the WPS protocol. The weak random number generator makes it easier to crack the PIN code, allowing an attacker to access the Internet via the cracked device.

Risk Assessment

Cracking the PIN may lead to unauthorized access to the network, posing a serious threat to the security of data and the organization's infrastructure.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the gateway software to the latest version to patch this vulnerability and implement stronger security measures for WPS.

Original NVD description (English source)

Huawei home gateways WS318 with software V100R001C01B022 and earlier versions are affected by the PIN offline brute force cracking vulnerability of the WPS protocol because the random number generator (RNG) used in the supplier's solution is not random enough. As a result, brute force cracking the PIN code is easier. After an attacker cracks the PIN, the attacker can access the Internet via the cracked device.
