Publication date: 2026-08-05

Last updated on: 2026-08-10

Assigner: TuranSec

Description

OpenBK7231T's CHANNEL_SetLabel (src/cmnds/cmd_channels.c) stores channel labels received via the MQTT SetChannelLabel command using strdup with no HTML sanitization. CHANNEL_GetLabel returns these labels unsanitized, and they are rendered via hprintf255 at 15+ locations in src/httpserver/http_fns.c with no HTML encoding.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves OpenBK7231T's handling of channel labels via MQTT commands. The CHANNEL_SetLabel() function stores labels without sanitizing HTML, and CHANNEL_GetLabel() returns them unsanitized. These labels are then rendered in the web panel without HTML encoding, allowing script injection.

Detection Guidance

Check MQTT messages for channel label commands containing HTML or script tags. Inspect web panel output for unsanitized labels. Monitor HTTP responses from the device for script payloads in channel labels.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with MQTT broker access could set a malicious channel label containing a script. When users view the device's web panel, the script executes, potentially stealing session data, performing actions on behalf of the user, or spreading malware.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to user data, violating GDPR's data protection principles and HIPAA's security requirements for protected health information. It may result in data breaches, non-compliance penalties, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update OpenBK7231T to a patched version that sanitizes channel labels. Restrict MQTT broker access to authenticated users only. Disable MQTT SetChannelLabel command if not needed. Review and sanitize existing channel labels.
