UPnP Hacking via Flash

Hacking The Interwebs

pdp and Adrian Pastor drop the XSS requirement from UPnP router attacks. Flash's URLRequest can set POST content type application/xml and add a SOAPAction header, so a plain malicious SWF sends a UPnP SOAP control message straight to the LAN router, adding port forwards or changing the primary DNS server. No same-origin bypass needed, and most consumer routers of the day ship UPnP on.
