Description

Mercusys AC12G (EU) V1 router with firmware AC12G(EU)_V1_200909 uses a static authentication nonce that does not change between requests from the same source IP. Combined with the predictable XOR-based password encoding (securityEncode function), this allows an attacker to reverse captured authentication tokens to recover the plaintext password.
