CVE-2024-9644 affects the Four-Faith F3x36 industrial router running firmware v2.0.0. The vulnerability is an authentication bypass in the administrative web server caused by authentication not being enforced for certain administrative functionality when requests are sent to the "bapply.cgi" endpoint instead of the normal "apply.cgi" endpoint. As a result, a remote unauthenticated attacker can invoke administrative actions without first authenticating, allowing unauthorized modification of router settings. The available reporting also notes that this issue can be chained with other vulnerabilities that normally require authentication, potentially enabling more severe post-authentication attack paths.
