Affected version: Firmware v7.8.1.013

It is possible to re-use a link which includes a non-expiring

of the Barracuda Web Application Firewall (WAF) firmware version 7.8.1.013.

Example:

http://waf.ptest.cudasvc.com/cgi-mod/index.cgi?auth_type=Local&et=99999999996locale=en_US&password=5a2fd48b65c5d80881eeb0f738bcc6dc&primary_tab=SECURITY%20POLICIES&secondary_tab=request_limits&user=guest

The above link opens up the Request Limit Policies on the Barracuda labs
WAF test host as the Guest user. This has been confirmed to work on
actual devices and with administrative accounts.
