Tenda W316R Wireless Router V5.07.50 Cookie Session Weakness Remote DNS Change PoC
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:
Users should ensure that their systems are running the latest version of the firmware and that they have enabled the latest security features. Additionally, users should be aware of the risks of using public Wi-Fi networks and should avoid connecting to them whenever possible.
