path/cgi-bin/webproc
  • Detect exploitation attempts by monitoring HTTP GET requests to /cgi-bin/webproc containing both 'getpage=' pointing to sensitive files (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow) and 'var:page=wizardfifth' in the query string.
  • A successful exploitation response will return HTTP 200 and contain the string matching 'root:.*:0:0:' in the body, indicating /etc/passwd contents were disclosed.
  • The crafted var:page value 'wizardfifth' is a consistent attacker-controlled parameter used to bypass input validation in conjunction with directory traversal via getpage.
  • ·No vendor patch or workaround is available; FiberHome did not respond to repeated disclosure attempts, leaving all affected devices exposed.
