The vulnerability is caused due to the router allowing unrestricted access to the administration.cgi web interface script. This can be exploited to change the administrator's password by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected script. The vulnerability is reported in firmware version 1.05.7. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Restrict internal network access to trusted users only.
