============ Vulnerability Overview: ============ 

* OS Command Injection

	=> parameter: ping_size

The vulnerability is caused by missing input validation in the ping_size parameter and can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. It is possible to upload and execute a backdoor to compromise the device.
You need to be authenticated to the device or you have to find other methods for inserting the malicious commands.

Change the request methode from HTTP Post to HTTP GET makes the exploitation easier (CSRF):

* XSS

Injecting scripts into the parameter ddns_enable, need_reboot, ping_ip and ping_size reveals that these parameters are not properly validated for malicious input. You need to be authenticated or you have to find other methods for inserting the malicious JavaScript code.

It is possible that there are much more XSS Vulnerabilities in this device. I have stopped testing here ... so feel free to check more parameters for input validation problems and XSS vulnerabilities.

* For changing the current password there is no request of the current password

	=> parameter: http_passwd and http_passwdConfirm

With this vulnerability an attacker is able to change the current password without knowing it. The attacker needs access to an authenticated browser.

* CSRF for changing the password without knowing the current one and the attacker is able to activate the remote management:
