CVE-2007-5383: Alcatel Speedtouch 7g Router

High severity, CVSS 10.0. EPSS: 3.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Thomson/Alcatel SpeedTouch 7G router, as used for the BT Home Hub 6.2.6.B and earlier, allows remote attackers on an intranet to bypass authentication and gain administrative access via vectors including a '/' (slash) character at the end of the PATH_INFO to cgi/b, aka "double-slash auth bypass." NOTE: remote attackers outside the intranet can exploit this by leveraging a separate CSRF vulnerability. NOTE: SpeedTouch 780 might also be affected by some of these issues.

Affected products

  • Alcatel Speedtouch 7g Router: any version
  • Bt Home Hub: up to and including 6.2.6.b
