This code subsequently connects to the web server built into the vulnerable modem on the local network. The script then alters the contents of the modem&#8217;s processor registers, by overwriting the stack, to redirect execution to malware smuggled in with the request.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, the code can attempt miscreant-in-the-middle attacks, manipulate the firmware, change DNS settings to redirect connections to phishing pages, snoop on traffic, launch distributed denial-of-service assaults, and so on. A <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2008\/04\/09\/dns_rebinding_attack\/\">DNS rebinding<\/a> technique is needed during the infection to bypass browser security mechanisms. This involves the script connecting to what the browser thinks is a legit internet-facing system, but the address actually resolves to the local IP address for the modem.<\/p>\n<p>The end result, the team says, is that crooks can remotely take over vulnerable Broadcom-based cable modems without netizens or ISPs realizing; the victim simply has to surf to a dodgy website, or similar. The method is a little fiddly to pull off, we note, so crooks may not bother with it.<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed Cable Haunt, and accompanied with a logo, for marketing purposes, the flaw was found by Alexander Dalsgaard Krog, Jens Hegner St\u00e6rmose, and Kasper Kohsel Terndrup from security company Lyrebirds, along with indie researcher Simon Vandel Sillesen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The attack can be executed by having the victim run malicious JavaScript,&#8221; the team explained. &#8220;A common avenue of attack would be a link that is opened in a browser, but could for example, also be done through ads on a trusted website or insecure email clients.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The modem&#8217;s spectrum analyzer tool, which is part of the Broadcom-supplied stack, is exploited as part of the attack to gain code execution: a specially crafted JSON payload sent to the software can overwrite the CPU registers, leading to arbitrary memory manipulation and code execution.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2020\/01\/07\/shutterstock_sign_contract.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"signs contract\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Price tag undisclosed but we're guessing it won't have made seller rich\">Accenture pays for CSS injection from Symantec parent Broadcom: Yep, it bought its cybersecurity services arm<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/01\/07\/symantec_parent_broadcom_flogs_cyber_security_services_division_to_accenture\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>At this point, it&#8217;s game over for the modem. An attacker can do pretty much anything they want.<\/p>\n<p>The team said the vulnerability affects cable modems using chipset designer Broadcom&#8217;s software running on the open-source Embedded Configurable Operating System (eCos), and fear that in Europe alone as many as 200 million modems may be vulnerable, though they are not certain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reason for this, is that the vulnerability originated in reference software, which have seemingly been copied by different cable modems manufacturers, when creating their cable modem firmware,&#8221; the crew explained. &#8220;This means that we have not been able to track the exact spread of the vulnerability, and that it might present itself in slightly different ways for different manufacturers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Broadcom has yet to respond to a request for comment on the report.
