CVE-2019-10657
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedGrandstream GWN7000 before 1.0.6.32 and GWN7610 before 1.0.8.18 devices allow remote authenticated users to discover passwords via a /ubus/uci.apply config request.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThis is an information disclosure vulnerability in Grandstream GWN7000 and GWN7610 wireless access point firmware. An authenticated remote attacker can discover stored passwords by making a specially crafted request to the /ubus/uci.apply configuration endpoint, which improperly exposes sensitive configuration data including plaintext passwords.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device modelLog into the device web interface or check the physical device label to confirm the model is either GWN7000 or GWN7610Affected if The device is a Grandstream GWN7000 or GWN7610 wireless access point
-
Determine the installed firmware versionIn the device web interface, navigate to the Status or System section to view the firmware version. Alternatively, check the device documentation or use the ubus/ system endpoint if accessible to retrieve version informationAffected if The firmware version cannot be determined or is visible in the admin interface
-
Compare firmware version against affected ranges for GWN7610If the device is a GWN7610, compare the installed version number to 1.0.8.18. Versions below 1.0.8.18 are affectedAffected if GWN7610 firmware version is lower than 1.0.8.18
-
Compare firmware version against affected ranges for GWN7000If the device is a GWN7000, compare the installed version number to 1.0.6.32. Versions below 1.0.6.32 are affectedAffected if GWN7000 firmware version is lower than 1.0.6.32
-
Assess administrative access exposureReview network configuration to determine if the device administrative interface is accessible from untrusted networks or the internet. The vulnerability requires an authenticated attacker to access the /ubus/uci.apply endpointAffected if The administrative web interface is exposed to untrusted networks without network segmentation or VPN protection
Your environment is affected if you have a GWN7610 with firmware below 1.0.8.18 or a GWN7000 with firmware below 1.0.6.32, and the device administrative interface is accessible to untrusted users who could make authenticated requests to the /ubus/uci.apply endpoint.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data1.0.6.321.0.8.18
Upgrade firmware to GWN7000 version 1.0.6.32 or later, or GWN7610 version 1.0.8.18 or later. Until patched, restrict administrative access to trusted users only through network segmentation or VPN.
