VAR-200906-0439
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 23:00Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Linksys WRT160N wireless router hardware 1 and firmware 1.02.2 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of other users for unspecified requests via unknown vectors, as demonstrated using administrator privileges and actions. The Linksys WRT160N wireless router is prone to a cross-site request-forgery vulnerability. Successful exploits can run privileged commands on the affected device, including enabling remote access to the web administration interface. This may lead to further network-based attacks. Linksys WRT160N running firmware 1.02.2 is vulnerable. WRT160N is the latest 802.11n wireless router launched by Linksy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

TITLE: Linksys WRT160N Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA34625
VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/34625/
DESCRIPTION: Russ McRee has reported a vulnerability in Linksys WRT160N, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.
The administrative web interface allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to perform administrative actions when a logged in administrator is tricked into visiting a malicious web page. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION: Do not browse untrusted web sites while being logged in to the administrative web interface.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Russ McRee, HolisticInfoSec
