Horizon Alert
Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters
Cisco Small Business RV320 and RV325 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Routers are affected by a vulnerability in their web-based management interface. This flaw allows unauthorized remote attackers to access sensitive information. The issue stems from improper handling of URLs, enabling attackers to retrieve router configurations or detailed diagnostic data.
- Cisco RV320 and RV325 routers
- Improper URL access controls
- Sensitive information disclosure
Attack Path
How an attacker could exploit the issue
This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive information by exploiting improper access controls on specific URLs within the web-based management interface. Attackers can connect to affected devices and request these URLs to download the router configuration or diagnostic data. This could potentially expose network configurations and operational details to unauthorized parties.
- Exposure condition: Routers with vulnerable web interfaces are accessible.
- Attacker starting point: Connects via HTTP or HTTPS.
- Trigger and result: Requests specific URLs to download configuration.
