VAR-200208-0135
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:30The web-based configuration interface for the Cisco ATA 186 Analog Telephone Adaptor allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via an HTTP POST request with a single byte, which allows the attackers to (1) obtain the password from the login screen, or (2) reconfigure the adaptor by modifying certain request parameters. The Cisco ATA-186 Analog Telephone Adapter is a hardware device designed to interface between analog telephones and Voice over IP (VoIP). It includes support for web based configuration. Under some circumstances, it may be possible to bypass the authentication required for this web interface. This may be done with a specially formatted change password request. Exploitation allows a remote attacker to reconfigure the vulnerable device. Reportedly, HTTP requests consisting of a single character will cause the device to disclose sensitive configuration information, including the password to the administrative web interface. By viewing the source code of the configuration tool screen page, it can be seen that there are no hidden parameters used to maintain the state, so you can trust the device usage type and HTTP input to determine whether configuration is allowed: For example: if three \"ChangeUIPasswd\" parameters without any value are provided to the system, the ATA-186 will display the login screen, similarly, if all three values of \"ChangeUIPasswd\" are provided, but one of the values does not match the password stored in the device, the login screen will appear again, if all provided correctly parameters, the device considers that the user has passed the authentication and provides configuration information. Interestingly, if only two \"ChangeUIPasswd\" parameters are passed, the device can also allow the user to configure

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
