Improper authentication vulnerability in NEC Corporation Aterm WG1800HP4, WG1200HS3, WG1900HP2, WG1200HP3, WG1800HP3, WG1200HS2, WG1900HP, WG1200HP2, W1200EX(-MS), WG1200HS, WG1200HP, WF300HP2, W300P, WF800HP, WR8165N, WG2200HP, WF1200HP2, WG1800HP2, WF1200HP, WG600HP, WG300HP, WF300HP, WG1800HP, WG1400HP, WR8175N, WR9300N, WR8750N, WR8160N, WR9500N, WR8600N, WR8370N, WR8170N, WR8700N, WR8300N, WR8150N, WR4100N, WR4500N, WR8100N, WR8500N, CR2500P, WR8400N, WR8200N, WR1200H, WR7870S, WR6670S, WR7850S, WR6650S, WR6600H, WR7800H, WM3400RN, WM3450RN, WM3500R, WM3600R, WM3800R, WR8166N, MR01LN MR02LN, WG1810HP(JE) and WG1810HP(MF) all versions allows a attacker to execute an arbitrary command with the root privilege via the internet.
The authentication mechanism in the firmware of NEC Aterm devices contains an improper authentication class error that enables bypassing identity verification without knowledge of any credentials. An attacker sending a specially crafted request over the internet can circumvent access control and issue system commands. Commands are executed in the context of the root account, meaning full access to the device's operating system.
Attacker gains full control over the device with root privileges, enabling configuration reading and modification, network traffic interception, DNS settings changes, and leveraging the device as an entry point to the local network.
Security patches from the manufacturer should be applied according to references (https://jpn.nec.com/security-info/secinfo/nv24-001_en.html). Until updates are deployed, it is recommended to block internet access to device management panels and restrict the administrative interface exposure exclusively to trusted IP addresses on the local network.
All firmware versions of the following NEC Aterm devices: WG1800HP4, WG1200HS3, WG1900HP2, WG1200HP3, WG1800HP3, WG1200HS2, WG1900HP, WG1200HP2, W1200EX(-MS), WG1200HS, WG1200HP, WF300HP2, W300P, WF800HP, WR8165N, WG2200HP, WF1200HP2, WG1800HP2, WF1200HP, WG600HP, WG300HP, WF300HP, WG1800HP, WG1400HP, WR8175N, WR9300N, WR8750N, WR8160N, WR9500N, WR8600N, WR8370N, WR8170N, WR8700N, WR8300N, WR8150N, WR4100N, WR4500N, WR8100N, WR8500N, CR2500P, WR8400N, WR8200N, WR1200H, WR7870S, WR6670S, WR7850S, WR6650S, WR6600H, WR7800H, WM3400RN, WM3450RN, WM3500R, WM3600R, WM3800R, WR8166N, MR01LN, MR02LN, WG1810HP(JE), and WG1810HP(MF).
