CSRF in 2wire Gateway Routers /xslt DNS Mapping

IdentifiersCVE-2007-4389CWE-352

A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in the /xslt endpoint of 2wire 1701HG, 1800HW, and 2071 Gateway routers running software versions 3.17.5, 3.7.1, and 5.29.51. This flaw allows remote attackers to submit crafted requests that create arbitrary DNS mappings as an administrator by manipulating the NAME and ADDR parameters, enabling DNS poisoning attacks.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to modify DNS mappings on the affected routers, potentially redirecting user traffic to malicious sites (DNS poisoning). This can lead to credential theft, malware distribution, and interception of sensitive information.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Restrict access to the router's administrative interface to trusted hosts only. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to prevent external access. Use browser security features and plugins to block third-party requests to the router interface.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade the router firmware to a version that addresses the CSRF vulnerability. If no patch is available, contact the vendor for support or consider replacing the device with a model that is actively maintained.
