What is CVE-2024-45261?
CVE-2024-45261 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in n/a, published on 24 Oct 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An issue was discovered on certain GL-iNet devices, including MT6000, MT3000, MT2500, AXT1800, and AX1800 4.6.2. The SID generated for a specific user is not tied to that user itself, which allows other users to potentially use it for authentication. Once an attacker bypasses the application's authentication procedures, they can generate a valid SID, escalate privileges, and gain full control.
