Title
GL.iNet GL-RM1/GL-RM10/GL-RM10RC/GL-RM1PE Factory Reset improper authentication
Summary
A security flaw has been discovered in GL.iNet GL-RM1, GL-RM10, GL-RM10RC and GL-RM1PE 1.8.1. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Factory Reset Handler. Performing a manipulation results in improper authentication. The attack can be initiated remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. Upgrading to version 1.8.2 can resolve this issue. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
