CVE-2016-6557
An attacker can perform actions with the same permissions as a victim user, provided the victim has an active session and is induced to trigger the malicious request.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.86%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In ASUS RP-AC52 access points with firmware version 1.0.1.1s and possibly earlier, the web interface, the web interface does not sufficiently verify whether a valid request was intentionally provided by the user. An attacker can perform actions with the same permissions as a victim user, provided the victim has an active session and is induced to trigger the malicious request.
