CVE-2025-29870

7.5 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

Missing authentication vulnerability in Wi-Fi AP UNIT 'AC-WPS-11ac series' allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access product configuration information including authentication credentials. This affects all deployments of these specific access points without proper network segmentation.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Wi-Fi AP UNIT AC-WPS-11ac series
Versions: All versions prior to patch
Operating Systems: Embedded firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All deployments are vulnerable by default; no special configuration required for exploitation.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers obtain administrative credentials and full network configuration, enabling complete network compromise, lateral movement, and persistent access.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers harvest authentication information and network configuration to gain unauthorized access to the network and connected systems.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and access controls, impact limited to isolated network segment containing vulnerable APs.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Simple HTTP request to vulnerable endpoint; trivial to exploit once endpoint is identified.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific firmware version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.inaba.co.jp/abaniact/news/security_20250404.pdf

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Download latest firmware from vendor. 2. Backup current configuration. 3. Upload and apply firmware update. 4. Verify authentication is required for configuration access.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate vulnerable APs in separate VLAN with strict firewall rules

Access Control Lists

all

Implement network ACLs to restrict access to AP management interfaces

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Remove APs from internet-facing networks immediately
  • Implement strict network segmentation and monitor for unauthorized access attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Attempt to access configuration endpoint without authentication; if configuration data is returned, system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check firmware version via AP web interface or SSH console

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify authentication is required to access configuration endpoints after patch.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unauthenticated access to configuration endpoints
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful configuration access

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual HTTP requests to AP management interfaces from external IPs
  • Configuration data exfiltration patterns

SIEM Query:

source_ip=external AND dest_port=80,443 AND uri_contains='config' AND auth_result='failure'
