A researcher discovered an unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Motorola MR2600 router, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code without credentials. The flaw stems from improper validation of firmware upload requests, where the system fails to correctly parse multipart form data before checking for valid SEAMA image headers. This critical issue highlights significant security lapses in the device's firmware update mechanism.
Background
The Motorola MR2600 is a Wi-Fi 5 router that received its last firmware update in mid-2024. Unauthenticated RCE vulnerabilities in consumer networking equipment pose severe risks as they allow full device compromise without user interaction.
