The analysts at usd HeroLab examined the LoRaWAN access point MultiTech Conduit AP MTCAP2-L4E1 while conducting their security analyses.
During the assessment they discovered that the whole webinterface of the access point is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery attacks (CSRF) attacks. An attacker might be able to cause a user to unknowingly send requests to a vulnerable application. If the user has previously authenticated himself towards the application, those requests will be executed according to the user's privileges. Should the user possess administrative privileges this might enable the attacker to fully compromise the system.
The vulnerabilities were reported to the vendor under the Responsible Disclosure Policy and subsequently fixed. Detailed information about the advisory can be found here.
