No fixed build or workaround is published yet. Limit exposure and watch for a patch.

Steps

Written by AI from the record

Check whether you operate an iball Baton 150M iB-WRA150N router and whether it runs firmware 1.2.6 build 110401 Rel.47776n v1 00000001.
Ask iball or your supplier for a supported replacement firmware version; no vendor fix is currently documented.
Until it is replaced or fixed, block access to the router’s administration page from the internet and restrict it to trusted internal staff networks.
Review router settings for unexpected administrator accounts, changed internet address settings, or unfamiliar traffic-routing entries, then reset credentials after securing access.

What it is

From the CVE record

iball Baton 150M iB-WRA150N v1 00000001 1.2.6 build 110401 Rel.47776n devices are prone to an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows remote attackers to view and modify administrative router settings by reading the HTML source code of the password.cgi file.

In plain language

Written by AI from the record

This affects iball Baton 150M iB-WRA150N routers running firmware 1.2.6 build 110401 Rel.47776n v1 00000001; replace or isolate affected routers because anyone who can reach one can take over its settings.

Unauthenticated network-based authentication bypass in iball Baton 150M iB-WRA150N firmware exposes password.cgi, allowing attackers to read configuration data and modify administrative settings.

If you're affected

Router settings takeover
Internet traffic redirection
Network outage
Administrative data exposure

What is it

This is a flaw in a specific small-business router that can let someone bypass its normal administrator sign-in. It is like leaving the building manager’s control panel unlocked: a visitor could change where traffic goes, alter access settings, or disrupt normal operations.

Who is affected

This matters to you if you use or manage an iball Baton 150M iB-WRA150N router. The risk applies to the identified firmware version and does not require the attacker to have an account or persuade anyone to click anything. It is most exposed when the router’s administration interface is reachable over the network, especially from the internet.

How urgent is it

An attacker who can reach an affected router can take over its administrative settings without logging in. There is no recorded active exploitation or public exploit code, but the ease and impact of the attack make this an amber issue: address it promptly and keep the management interface off the internet while you arrange a fix or replacement.

What to do — in detail

Confirm the router model and installed firmware through its local administration interface or your device inventory. The affected target is iball Baton 150M iB-WRA150N firmware version 1.2.6 build 110401 Rel.47776n v1 00000001; no fixed version or supported upgrade path has been documented.

If the device is exposed to the internet, immediately remove public access to its administration interface and allow management only from a dedicated trusted internal network. If remote administration is essential, place it behind a trusted VPN and restrict access to specific administrator systems.

Contact iball or the retailer for a supported firmware replacement. If none is available, plan to replace the router rather than installing unverified firmware. After isolation or replacement, inspect administrator accounts, DNS and internet connection settings, port-forwarding rules, wireless settings, and firewall rules for unauthorized changes; rotate router administrator credentials and any credentials stored on the device. No CISA KEV remediation due date applies because this CVE is not listed in KEV.

Technical context

CVSS v3.0 is 9.8 (Critical): AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. The issue is CWE-798 and enables unauthenticated remote access to password.cgi, exposing sensitive configuration data that can be used to bypass authentication and alter administrative settings. The affected firmware is reachable in the default configuration. It is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code is on record. EPSS estimates a 15.3% exploitation likelihood (97th percentile), with a falling trend; this is predictive, not evidence of exploitation.

This is a general assessment based on public vulnerability data. It does not account for your specific infrastructure — when in doubt, consult a security specialist.
