VAR-201609-0048
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-12 23:24The management interface of Huawei WS331a routers with software before WS331a-10 V100R001C01B112 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain administrative access by sending "special packages" to the LAN interface. HuaweiWS331a is a mini wireless router from China's Huawei company. A certificate management vulnerability exists in HuaweiWS331aWS331a-10V100R001C02B017SP01 and earlier. The password verification was not handled correctly due to the program. Huawei WS331a is prone to a cross-site request-forgery vulnerability and a privilege escalation vulnerability. This may aid in other attacks. Huawei WS331a version WS331a-10 V100R001C02B017SP01 and earlier versions are affected

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
