The application doesn't allow creation of more than one administrator account on the system. This also applies for deletion of the administrative account. The logic behind this restriction can be bypassed by parameter manipulation using dangerous verbs like PUT and DELETE and improper server-side validation. Once a normal account with 'viewer' or 'operator' permissions has been added by the default admin user 'i3admin', a PUT request can be issued calling the 'UserPermission' endpoint with the ID of created account and set it to 'admin' userType, successfully adding a second administrative account.

The CTM-200 and CTM-ONE are vulnerable to hard-coded credentials within their Linux distribution image. This weakness can lead to the exposure of resources or functionality to unintended actors, providing attackers with sensitive information including executing arbitrary code.

The CTM-200 wireless gateway suffers from an authenticated semi-blind OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands as the root user through the 'ctm-config-upgrade.sh' script leveraging the 'fw_url' POST parameter used in the cmd upgreadefw as argument, called by ctmsys() as pointer to execv() and make_wget_url() function to the wget command in /usr/bin/cmdmain ELF binary.

The application suffers from a privilege escalation vulnerability. A normal user (group USER, 0) can elevate her privileges by sending a HTTP POST request and setting the JSON parameter 'privilege' to integer value '1' gaining administrative rights (group ADMINISTRATOR, 1).

Improper access control occurs when the application provides direct access to objects based on user-supplied input. As a result of this vulnerability attackers can bypass authorization and access resources behind protected pages.

The application has a hidden administrative account 'cmuser' that has no password and has write access permissions to the device. The user cmuser is not visible in Users menu list of the application.

The application interface allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to perform certain actions with administrative privileges if a logged-in user visits a malicious web site.

The application is vulnerable to unauthenticated configuration disclosure when direct object reference is made to the backup archive file using an HTTP GET request. The only unknown part of the filename is the hostname of the system. This will enable the attacker to disclose sensitive information and help her in authentication bypass, privilege escalation and full system access.

The BAS controller stores sensitive data (backup exports) in clear-text.
