Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as an exposure of sensitive information (CWE-552/CWE-200) within the web management interface of several ELECOM router models. An unauthenticated attacker located on the same local network (adjacent) can bypass intended access controls by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the device. This request triggers the unauthorized download of the router's configuration file. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to read sensitive configuration parameters, which may include administrative credentials or network secrets. Firmware updates have been released to address this issue.
