Multiple Vulnerabilities in BHU WiFi “uRouter”

The BHU WiFi uRouter, manufactured and sold in China, contains multiple critical vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated attacker could bypass authentication, access sensitive information stored in its system logs, and in the worst case, execute OS commands on the router with root privileges. In addition, the uRouter ships with hidden users, SSH enabled by default and a hardcoded root password…and injects a third-party JavaScript file into all users’ HTTP traffic.

IOActive has identified seven medium to critical risk vulnerabilities in the product. An attacker could exploit these issues to fully compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the product.
