MikroTik WinBox 3.22 and below stores the user's cleartext password in the settings.cfg.viw configuration file when the Keep Password field is set and no Master Password is set. Keep Password is set by default and, by default Master Password is not set. An attacker with access to the configuration file can extract a username and password to gain access to the router.

The SSH daemon on MikroTik routers through v6.44.3 could allow remote attackers to generate CPU activity, trigger refusal of new authorized connections, and cause a reboot via connect and write system calls, because of uncontrolled resource management.

An issue was discovered in Mikrotik RouterOS. Crafting a packet that has a size of 1 byte and sending it to an IPv6 address of a RouterOS box with IP Protocol 97 will cause RouterOS to reboot imminently. All versions of RouterOS that supports EoIPv6 are vulnerable to this attack.

RouterOS versions 6.45.6 Stable, 6.44.5 Long-term, and below are vulnerable to a DNS unrelated data attack. The router adds all A records to its DNS cache even when the records are unrelated to the domain that was queried. Therefore, a remote attacker controlled DNS server can poison the router's DNS cache via malicious responses with additional and untrue records.

RouterOS versions 6.45.6 Stable, 6.44.5 Long-term, and below allow remote unauthenticated attackers to trigger DNS queries via port 8291. The queries are sent from the router to a server of the attacker's choice. The DNS responses are cached by the router, potentially resulting in cache poisoning

RouterOS 6.45.6 Stable, RouterOS 6.44.5 Long-term, and below insufficiently validate where upgrade packages are download from when using the autoupgrade feature. Therefore, a remote attacker can trick the router into "upgrading" to an older version of RouterOS and possibly reseting all the system's usernames and passwords.

RouterOS 6.45.6 Stable, RouterOS 6.44.5 Long-term, and below are vulnerable to an arbitrary directory creation vulnerability via the upgrade package's name field. If an authenticated user installs a malicious package then a directory could be created and the developer shell could be enabled.

MikroTik RouterOS through 6.44.5 and 6.45.x through 6.45.3 improperly handles the disk name, which allows authenticated users to delete arbitrary files. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to reset credential storage, which allows them access to the management interface as an administrator without authentication.

Mikrotik RouterOS before 6.44.5 (long-term release tree) is vulnerable to stack exhaustion. By sending a crafted HTTP request, an authenticated remote attacker can crash the HTTP server via recursive parsing of JSON. Malicious code cannot be injected.

Mikrotik RouterOS before 6.44.5 (long-term release tree) is vulnerable to memory exhaustion. By sending a crafted HTTP request, an authenticated remote attacker can crash the HTTP server and in some circumstances reboot the system. Malicious code cannot be injected.

A vulnerability in the FTP daemon on MikroTik routers through 6.44.3 could allow remote attackers to exhaust all available memory, causing the device to reboot because of uncontrolled resource management.

MikroTik RouterOS versions Stable 6.43.12 and below, Long-term 6.42.12 and below, and Testing 6.44beta75 and below are vulnerable to an authenticated, remote directory traversal via the HTTP or Winbox interfaces. An authenticated, remote attack can use this vulnerability to read and write files outside of the sandbox directory (/rw/disk).

MikroTik RouterOS before 6.43.12 (stable) and 6.42.12 (long-term) is vulnerable to an intermediary vulnerability. The software will execute user defined network requests to both WAN and LAN clients. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use this vulnerability to bypass the router's firewall or for general network scanning activities.

Mikrotik RouterOS before 6.42.7 and 6.40.9 is vulnerable to a memory corruption vulnerability. An authenticated remote attacker can crash the HTTP server by rapidly authenticating and disconnecting.

MikroTik RouterOS through 6.42 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files and remote authenticated attackers to write arbitrary files due to a directory traversal vulnerability in the WinBox interface.

A vulnerability in MikroTik Version 6.41.4 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust all available CPU and all available RAM by sending a crafted FTP request on port 21 that begins with many '\0' characters, preventing the affected router from accepting new FTP connections. The router will reboot after 10 minutes, logging a "router was rebooted without proper shutdown" message.

An issue was discovered in MikroTik RouterOS 6.41.4. Missing OpenVPN server certificate verification allows a remote unauthenticated attacker capable of intercepting client traffic to act as a malicious OpenVPN server. This may allow the attacker to gain access to the client's internal network (for example, at site-to-site tunnels).

A buffer overflow was found in the MikroTik RouterOS SMB service when processing NetBIOS session request messages. Remote attackers with access to the service can exploit this vulnerability and gain code execution on the system. The overflow occurs before authentication takes place, so it is possible for an unauthenticated remote attacker to exploit it. All architectures and all devices running RouterOS before versions 6.41.3/6.42rc27 are vulnerable.

MikroTik RouterBOARD v6.39.2 and v6.40.5 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service by connecting to TCP port 53 and sending data that begins with many '\0' characters, possibly related to DNS.

MikroTik v6.40.5 devices allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a flood of ICMP packets.

A vulnerability in MikroTik Version 6.38.5 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust all available CPU via a flood of UDP packets on port 500 (used for L2TP over IPsec), preventing the affected router from accepting new connections; all devices will be disconnected from the router and all logs removed automatically.

A vulnerability in the network stack of MikroTik Version 6.38.5 released 2017-03-09 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust all available CPU via a flood of TCP RST packets, preventing the affected router from accepting new TCP connections.

The MikroTik Router hAP Lite 6.25 has no protection mechanism for unsolicited TCP ACK packets in the case of a fast network connection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many ACK packets. After the attacker stops the exploit, the CPU usage is 100% and the router requires a reboot for normal operation.

The L2TP Client in MikroTik RouterOS versions 6.83.3 and 6.37.4 does not enable IPsec encryption after a reboot, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to view transmitted data unencrypted and gain access to networks on the L2TP server by monitoring the packets for the transmitted data and obtaining the L2TP secret.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in MikroTik RouterOS 5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that change the administrator password via a request in the status page to /cfg.

The winbox service in MikroTik RouterOS 5.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption), read the router version, and possibly have other impacts via a request to download the router's DLLs or plugins, as demonstrated by roteros.dll.
