Technical details
This is a broken access control vulnerability in the ugw-usr-edit method of the /cgi-bin/wwwugw.cgi CGI script. The flaw fails to properly validate that a Standard-role user can only modify their own account; instead, it allows changing the password of arbitrary accounts. The vulnerability is accessible to any authenticated user via HTTP/HTTPS on the built-in web server. An attacker with valid Standard credentials can exploit this to escalate privileges by taking over higher-privileged accounts (such as administrative accounts), gaining full control of the gateway device and its automation functions. Firmware version V6_00_05 and earlier are affected.
