Elber Wayber Analog/Digital Audio STL 4.00 Authentication Bypass

The Elber Wayber Analog/Digital Audio STL version 3.0.0 and below, including Firmware versions 4.00 Rev. 1501, 4.00 Rev. 1516, and 3.00 Rev. 1350, are vulnerable to an authentication bypass. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can gain unauthorized access to the password management functionality, allowing them to change passwords for any user in the system. This unauthorized access compromises the security of the device.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to restrict network access to the affected devices, apply the principle of least privilege, and regularly update the firmware to the latest version.

Summary: Wayber II is the name of an analogue/digital microwave link
able to transport a Mono or a MPX stereo signal from studio to audio
transmitter. Compact and reliable, it features very high quality and
modern technology both in signal processing and microwave section leading
to outstanding performances.

Desc: The device suffers from an authentication bypass vulnerability through
a direct and unauthorized access to the password management functionality. The
issue allows attackers to bypass authentication by manipulating the set_pwd
endpoint that enables them to overwrite the password of any user within the
system. This grants unauthorized and administrative access to protected areas
of the application compromising the device's system security.
