Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Arbitrary File Deletion via DELETE request. <br>π₯ **Consequences**: Attackers can delete **any file**, including critical **system internal files**.β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: **Arbitrary File Delete** flaw. <br>π **Flaw**: The application fails to validate or restrict file paths in HTTP DELETE requests, allowing traversal or direct access to sensitive paths.
π **Public Exp**: **Yes**. <br>π **PoC**: Available via **Nuclei Templates** (ProjectDiscovery) and PacketStorm. <br>π **Status**: Known and documented in public repositories.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Self-Check**: Scan for **HTTP DELETE methods** targeting the router. <br>π οΈ **Tool**: Use **Nuclei** with the specific CVE-2021-46424 template. <br>π‘ **Feature**: Look for the specific router model in network scans.
π§ **Workaround**: If no patch: <br>1. **Block** external access to the router's management interface. <br>2. **Restrict** HTTP DELETE methods via firewall/WAF rules. <br>3. **Isolate** the device on a secure VLAN.
Q10Is it urgent? (Priority Suggestion)
