CVE: CVE-2010-4507



Finding:

These devices are susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).

An attacker that is able to coerce a ClearSpot / iSpot user into

following a link can arbitrarily execute system commands on the device.



The following examples will allow an attacker to enable remote access to

the

iSpot and ClearSpot 4G, and add their own account to the device. This level

of access also provides a device's client-side SSL certificates, which are

used to perform device authentication. This could lead to a compromise of

ClearWire accounts as well as other personal information.
