CVE-2018-5393
The TP-LINK EAP Controller is TP-LINK's software for remotely controlling wireless access point devices. It utilizes a Java remote method invocation (RMI) service for remote control. The RMI interface does not require any authentication before use, so it lacks user authentication for RMI service commands in EAP controller versions 2.5.3 and earlier. Remote attackers can implement deserialization attacks through the RMI protocol. Successful attacks may allow a remote attacker to remotely control the target server and execute Java functions or bytecode.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Emplea un servicio Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) para el control remoto. La interfaz RMI no requiere autenticación antes de utilizarlo, por lo que carece de autenticación de usuario para comandos del servicio RMI en el controlador EAP en versiones 2.5.3 y anteriores. Los atacantes remotos pueden implementar ataques de deserialización mediante el protocolo RMI. Los ataques exitosos podrían permitir que un atacante remoto controle remotamente el servidor objetivo y ejecute funciones de Java o código de bytes."
