Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper authentication restrictions. A remote attacker can bypass authentication simply by appending "?images" to any URL of the device that requires authentication, as demonstrated by the /menu.html?images/ or /GponForm/diag_FORM?images/ URI.
Note: the vulnerability is being exploited by various attachers to deliver several Mirai variants (e.g., Satori, JenX, etc.).
