HughesNet HT2000W Satellite Modem Password Reset

The exploit allows an attacker to reset the administrator password for HughesNet HT2000W Satellite Modem by taking advantage of CVE-2021-20090, a path traversal vulnerability in the HTTP daemon. The exploit also exploits other vulnerabilities like improper use of httokens for authentication and leaking the MD5 hash of the password.

Mitigation:

Vendor should release a patch to fix the path traversal vulnerability and other related issues. Users should change the default passwords and use strong, unique passwords.
