Beetel BCM96338 ADSL Router Unauthenticated Remote DNS Change Exploit
The vulnerability exist in the web interface, which is accessible without authentication. Once modified, systems use foreign DNS servers, which are usually set up by cybercriminals. Users with vulnerable systems or devices who try to access certain sites are instead redirected to possibly malicious sites. Modifying systems' DNS settings allows cybercriminals to perform malicious activities like steering unknowing users to bad sites, replacing ads on legitimate sites, controlling and redirecting network traffic, and pushing additional malware.
Mitigation:
Authentication should be enabled for the web interface.
