Technical details

The websocket handler in Fanvil x7a firmware version 2.6.0.1182 does not enforce authentication restrictions for sessionless users, allowing unauthenticated remote access to protected resources. Attackers can connect to websocket endpoints (such as /log) without valid credentials or session tokens, gaining access to operational logs and diagnostic capabilities. The vulnerability enables information disclosure and privilege escalation on affected devices.
