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.
-
Confirm device model is Faraday GM8181 or GM828xAccess the device web interface, CLI, or check device labeling to verify the exact model number matches GM8181 or GM828xAffected if Device is a Faraday GM8181 or GM828x network device
-
Identify installed firmware versionLog into the device admin interface or CLI and look for firmware version information, typically found in System, Status, or About pages. If using CLI, commands like 'show version' or 'get firmware version' may reveal the build date.Affected if Firmware version date is on or before April 29, 2024 (20240429 or earlier)
-
Verify Request Handler component accessibilityAttempt to access the Request Handler endpoint on the device, typically found at paths like /request_handler, /api/request, or similar endpoints. Use a web browser or curl to send requests to common Request Handler paths and observe responses.Affected if Request Handler component is exposed and responds to HTTP requests without authentication or with weak access controls
-
Check for information disclosure via Request HandlerSend benign probe requests to the Request Handler endpoint and examine the response headers and body for any sensitive information such as configuration data, credentials, system paths, or internal network details.Affected if The Request Handler returns sensitive system, configuration, or network information in responses
You are affected if you have a Faraday GM8181 or GM828x device running firmware dated April 29, 2024 or earlier, and the Request Handler component is accessible and exposing sensitive information.
