CVE-2026-40857 is a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in WNC T-Mobile 5G Box IDU router firmware prior to version 1.1.0.651412. The router’s anti-CSRF implementation accepts arbitrary values for the CSRF-token request parameter rather than validating that the token is valid and bound to the authenticated session. Consequently, attacker-controlled web content can cause an authenticated user’s browser to submit unauthorized management requests to the router.
