ASUS Router - Stack-based Buffer Overflow

Certain models of ASUS routers have buffer overflow vulnerabilities, allowing remote attackers with administrative privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the device.

ASUS OVPN RCE

ASUS routers supporting custom OpenVPN profiles are vulnerable to a code execution vulnerability. An authenticated and remote attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands by uploading a crafted OVPN profile. Known affected routers include ASUS ExpertWiFi, ASUS RT-AX55, ASUS RT-AX58U, ASUS RT-AC67U, ASUS RT-AC68R, ASUS RT-AC68U, ASUS RT-AX86, ASUS RT-AC86U, ASUS RT-AX88U, and ASUS RT-AX3000.

Advanced_System_Content.asp in the ASUS RT series routers with firmware before 3.0.0.4.374.5517, when an administrator session is active, allows remote authenticated users to obtain the administrator user name and password by reading the source code.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Advanced_Wireless_Content.asp in ASUS RT-AC68U and other RT series routers with firmware before 3.0.0.4.374.5047 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the current_page parameter to apply.cgi.

ASUS JAPAN RT-AC87U routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.378.3754 and earlier, RT-AC68U routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3715 and earlier, RT-AC56S routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3715 and earlier, RT-N66U routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3715 and earlier, and RT-N56U routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3715 and earlier allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands via unspecified vectors.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability on ASUS JAPAN RT-AC87U routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.378.3754 and earlier, RT-AC68U routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3715 and earlier, RT-AC56S routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3715 and earlier, RT-N66U routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3715 and earlier, and RT-N56U routers with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3715 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users.

The Network Analysis tab (Main_Analysis_Content.asp) in the ASUS RT-AC68U and other RT series routers with firmware before 3.0.0.4.374.5047 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the Target field (destIP parameter).

ASUS RT-AC68U, RT-AC66R, RT-AC66U, RT-AC56R, RT-AC56U, RT-N66R, RT-N66U, RT-N56R, RT-N56U, and possibly other RT-series routers before firmware 3.0.0.4.376.x do not verify the integrity of firmware (1) update information or (2) downloaded updates, which allows man-in-the-middle (MITM) attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted image.

Incorrect Access Control issue discoverd in Cloud Disk in ASUS RT-AC68U router firmware version before 3.0.0.4.386.41634 allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files via improper sanitation on the source for COPY and MOVE operations.

Directory Traversal vulnerability in Cloud Disk in ASUS RT-AC68U router firmware version before 3.0.0.4.386.41634 allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files via improper sanitation on the target for COPY and MOVE operations.

SQL injection vulnerability in Cloud Disk in ASUS RT-AC68U router firmware version before 3.0.0.4.386.41634 allows remote attackers to view sensitive information via /etc/shadow.

ASUS AC68U <=3.0.0.4.385.20852 is affected by a buffer overflow in blocking.cgi, which may cause a denial of service (DoS).

Asus RT-AC68U <3.0.0.4.385.20633 and RT-AC5300 <3.0.0.4.384.82072 are affected by a buffer overflow in blocking_request.cgi.

ASUS RT-A88U 3.0.0.4.386_45898 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS). The ASUS router admin panel does not sanitize the WiFI logs correctly, if an attacker was able to change the SSID of the router with a custom payload, they could achieve stored XSS on the device.

In ASUS RT-AX3000, ZenWiFi AX (XT8), RT-AX88U, and other ASUS routers with firmware < 3.0.0.4.386.42095 or < 9.0.0.4.386.41994, when IPv6 is used, a routing loop can occur that generates excessive network traffic between an affected device and its upstream ISP's router. This occurs when a link prefix route points to a point-to-point link, a destination IPv6 address belongs to the prefix and is not a local IPv6 address, and a router advertisement is received with at least one global unique IPv6 prefix for which the on-link flag is set.

Main_Analysis_Content.asp in /apply.cgi on ASUS RT-AC66U, RT-AC68U, RT-AC86U, RT-AC88U, RT-AC1900, RT-AC2900, and RT-AC3100 devices before 3.0.0.4.384_10007; RT-N18U devices before 3.0.0.4.382.39935; RT-AC87U and RT-AC3200 devices before 3.0.0.4.382.50010; and RT-AC5300 devices before 3.0.0.4.384.20287 allows OS command injection via the pingCNT and destIP fields of the SystemCmd variable.

An issue was discovered in ASUSWRT 3.0.0.4.384.20308. There is a stack-based buffer overflow issue in parse_req_queries function in wanduck.c via a long string over UDP, which may lead to an information leak.

An issue was discovered in ASUSWRT 3.0.0.4.384.20308. An unauthenticated user can trigger a DoS of the httpd service via the /APP_Installation.asp?= URI.

An issue was discovered in ASUSWRT 3.0.0.4.384.20308. When processing the /start_apply.htm POST data, there is a command injection issue via shell metacharacters in the fb_email parameter. By using this issue, an attacker can control the router and get shell.

An issue was discovered in ASUSWRT 3.0.0.4.384.20308. An unauthenticated user can request /update_applist.asp to see if a USB device is attached to the router and if there are apps installed on the router.
