Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

MikroTik

What an attacker could do

The MikroTik RouterOS WebFig management interface exposes router administration; with valid or default credentials an attacker can alter routing, firewall, VPN, and DNS settings or pivot into the internal network. Several RouterOS versions have unauthenticated WebFig/Winbox CVEs leading to full device compromise.

How to defend it

Restrict WebFig to a management VLAN or VPN, disable the www service on WAN interfaces, change default admin credentials, and keep RouterOS updated to patch known WebFig/Winbox vulnerabilities.
