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 · unedited
The WiFi Extender WDR201A (HW V2.1, FW LFMZX28040922V1.02) implements a broken authentication mechanism in its web management interface. The login page does not properly enforce session validation, allowing attackers to bypass authentication by directly accessing restricted web application endpoints through forced browsing

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 · moderate confidence

The WiFi Extender WDR201A firmware LFMZX28040922V1.02 contains a broken authentication mechanism where the web management interface login page fails to properly enforce session validation. Attackers can bypass authentication entirely through forced browsing by directly accessing restricted web application endpoints without obtaining a valid session token.

MitigationApply vendor firmware patch if available; otherwise consider replacing the device with a model that receives active security support. If the device must remain in service, restrict network access to the management interface via ACLs or VLAN segmentation to reduce attack surface.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm device model is WDR201A
    Check the device label, management interface, or SNMP inventory for the model number WDR201A WiFi Extender
    Affected if The device is a WDR201A WiFi Extender
  2. Identify installed firmware version
    Log into the web management interface and look for a firmware version string in the system status or settings page, or check via device console/SSH if available
    Affected if Firmware version is LFMZX28040922V1.02 or an earlier unpatched release
  3. Verify web management interface is enabled
    Attempt to reach the device IP via HTTP/HTTPS on common management ports (80, 443, 8080) or check the administrative settings for web interface status
    Affected if The web management interface is accessible on the network
  4. Test for forced browsing authentication bypass
    Using a browser or HTTP client, attempt to directly access a restricted endpoint (such as /admin, /status, /cfg, or similar) without logging in or providing any session token
    Affected if Restricted pages or device configuration can be viewed or manipulated without authentication
  5. Check for session token validation
    Inspect HTTP requests and responses when logging in; note whether the server validates session cookies on subsequent restricted page requests
    Affected if The server accepts requests to restricted endpoints without valid session tokens or cookies

You are affected if the device is a WDR201A with firmware LFMZX28040922V1.02 and the web management interface allows direct access to restricted pages without authentication.
