Cisco Talos recently discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the ZTE MF971R LTE portable router. The MF971R is a portable router with Wi-Fi support and works as an LTE/GSM modem. An attacker could exploit all these vulnerabilities by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the targeted device. TALOS-2021-1320 and TALOS-2021-1321 are stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit these issues to execute arbitrary remote code on the targeted device. As part of these exploits, the attacker needs to complete a referrer bypass, which is outlined in TALOS-2021-1317. TALOS-2021-1318 and TALOS-2021-1319 are cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that an attacker could use to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim’s browser. In this case, an attacker would need to trick the user into opening an attacker-controlled URL that hosts the malicious HTTP request.
