Subject: Linksys X3000 - Multiple Vulnerabilities

Device: X3000
Vendor: Linksys

============  Vulnerable Firmware Releases: ============ 
 
Firmware Version:  	v1.0.03 build 001 Jun 11,2012

============ Vulnerability Overview: ============

* OS Command Injection
	
The vulnerability is caused by missing input validation in the ping_ip parameter and can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands.

You need to be authenticated to the device or you have to find other methods for inserting the malicious commands.

* OS Command Injection - Vector 1 (1):
	=> Parameter: ping_ip

* For changing the password there is no request to the current password (3):

With this vulnerability an attacker is able to change the current password without knowing it. The attacker needs access to an authenticated browser.

* reflected XSS

Injecting scripts into the following parameters reveals that these are not properly validated for malicious input.
