Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated user to hijack any active admin session.
The weakness exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send cgi_logout and asusrouter-Windows-IFTTT-1.0 in certain HTTP headers and gain the session cookies to hijack the valid user's session.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability leads to session steal.
