CVE-2018-10561 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in Dasan GPON home routers. Authentication-protected endpoints on the device can be accessed without valid credentials by appending the "?images" suffix to request URIs, such as management and diagnostic paths. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to reach functionality that should be restricted to authenticated users and interact with the router’s administrative interface. The issue has been widely abused in the wild, frequently as the first stage in attack chains that pair the bypass with CVE-2018-10562 to achieve unauthenticated command execution and full device compromise.
