description = [[
ASUSWRT is a wireless router operating system that powers many routers produced by ASUS.
Session hijack vulnerability in httpd in ASUS ASUSWRT on RT-AC53 3.0.0.4.380.6038 devices
allows remote attackers to steal any active admin session by sending cgi_logout
and asusrouter-Windows-IFTTT-1.0 in certain HTTP headers.
If an attacker sets his cookie value to cgi_logout and puts
asusrouter-Windows-IFTTT-1.0 into his User-Agent header he will be treated
as signed-in if any other administrator session is active.
NOTE: This vulnerability is yet to be patched by the vendors.
