Technical details
The vulnerability is an authentication bypass in the httpcon_check_session_url function within the Session Validation component of the firmware. The function determines whether to enforce authentication solely by checking if the request URL begins with "/sess-bin/"; requests to other paths like "/cgi/timepro.cgi" bypass the authentication check. This logical flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to directly access the password reset endpoint and invoke administrative functions without credentials. The attack is network-reachable and requires no prior authentication or user interaction. No patch availability information is available; the vendor was contacted early but did not respond.
