Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing packets sent to spectrum analyzer build-in feature. By default the affected router accepts requests from local network only, however an attacker can craft a specially crafted webpage and use victim's browser to deliver malicious request to the affected router, e.g. via websockets and a specially crafted JSON payload.
Note, this vulnerability was dubbed Cable Haunt by the researcher.
