Multiple external config control vulnerabilities exist in the nas.cgi set_nas() proftpd functionality of Wavlink AC3000 M33A8.V5030.210505. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to permission bypass. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger these vulnerabilities.A configuration injection vulnerability exists in the `ftp_port` POST parameter.
The vulnerability lies in improper handling of the POST parameter `ftp_port` in the set_nas() function handled by the nas.cgi script in Wavlink AC3000 firmware (version M33A8.V5030.210505). An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request containing malicious values in the `ftp_port` parameter, leading to injection of unauthorized configuration values into the ProFTPD service. As a result, it is possible to bypass permission control mechanisms (permission bypass) without requiring higher-level administrator privileges — standard user-level authentication is sufficient.
An attacker can modify the ProFTPD service configuration in a way that exceeds their assigned permissions, which may lead to unauthorized access to NAS device resources, breach of confidentiality and integrity of stored data, and potentially service destabilization (high impact rating on C, I, and A in the CVSS vector).
Apply patches available from the manufacturer according to the references. It is recommended to restrict access to the device management interface to trusted networks only and monitor unexpected HTTP requests directed to nas.cgi. Details regarding available updates should be verified in the Cisco Talos report: TALOS-2024-2053.
