The administration panel on the Airspan WiMax ProST 4.1 antenna with 6.5.38.0 software does not verify authentication credentials, which allows remote attackers to (1) upload malformed firmware or (2) bind the antenna to a different WiMAX base station via unspecified requests to forms under process_adv/.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-1262 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2008-1262. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
