CVE-2025-41763
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 · uneditedA low‑privileged remote attacker can directly interact with the wwwdnload.cgi endpoint to download any resource available to administrators, including system backups and certificate request files.
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 confidenceThe wwwdnload.cgi endpoint lacks proper authorization checks, allowing any authenticated user (including low-privileged ones) to download files that should only be accessible to administrators, such as system backups and certificate request files. This is a broken access control vulnerability where the endpoint directly exposes sensitive resources without verifying user privileges.

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 installed firmware versionAccess the router's web interface or check the system information page, or use SNMP/CLI commands to retrieve the firmware version (e.g., 'show version' or similar).Affected if The firmware version is below 6.0.1.0 (e.g., 6.0.0.x, 5.x.x, etc.)
-
Confirm wwwdnload.cgi endpoint existsAttempt to access the URL path /wwwdnload.cgi on the router's web server (e.g., https://<router-ip>/wwwdnload.cgi). Check if the endpoint responds or is present in the web server's allowed CGI paths.Affected if The endpoint returns a valid response (200 OK) rather than a 404 or access denied error, indicating it is enabled and accessible.
-
Test access control with a low-privileged accountLog in to the web interface with a non-administrator (low-privileged) user account and attempt to access the wwwdnload.cgi endpoint directly, or try to request known sensitive file paths such as system backups or certificate request files through this endpoint.Affected if The low-privileged user can successfully retrieve files that should only be available to administrators (e.g., backup files, certificate request files).
-
Review user role permissions configurationCheck the router's access control settings or user role configuration files (if accessible via CLI or backup) to verify whether the wwwdnload.cgi endpoint is restricted to administrator-level roles only.Affected if The configuration shows no role-based restriction on wwwdnload.cgi, or the endpoint is mapped to a role accessible by low-privileged users.
You are affected if the firmware version is below 6.0.1.0 AND the wwwdnload.cgi endpoint is accessible to authenticated users with non-administrator privileges.

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.
dbcve · scoped6.0.1.0
Implement and enforce role-based access control on the wwwdnload.cgi endpoint to verify user privileges before allowing any file download, restricting access to administrator-level resources only.
6.0.1.0
- Obtain the fixed firmware version 6.0.1.0 or later from the vendor (www.mbs-solutions.de)
- Access the Universal Bacnet Router administrative interface
- Navigate to the firmware update or system maintenance section
- Upload and apply the firmware version 6.0.1.0 or later following the vendor's documented update procedure
- Verify the firmware version has been updated successfully
- Confirm the wwwdnload.cgi endpoint no longer allows unauthorized access
