Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2013-7293 impacting asus wl-330nul. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 5.0 (UNKNOWN).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
The ASUS WL-330NUL router has a configuration process that relies on accessing the 192.168.1.1 IP address, but the documentation advises users to instead access a DNS hostname that does not always resolve to 192.168.1.1, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack the configuration traffic by controlling the server associated with that hostname.
