Tor before 0.1.2.16, when ControlPort is enabled, does not properly restrict commands to localhost port 9051, which allows remote attackers to modify the torrc configuration file, compromise anonymity, and have other unspecified impact via HTTP POST data containing commands without valid authentication, as demonstrated by an HTML form (1) hosted on a web site or (2) injected by a Tor exit node.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Tor clients before 0.1.2.16 could be tricked into accepting control commands when ControlPort was enabled. A malicious web page or injected exit-node content could change Tor configuration and weaken anonymity. Exposure is conditional, but impact is serious for systems relying on Tor privacy. Most relevant to legacy Tor deployments where ControlPort is enabled. Modern Tor versions should not be assumed affected from these sources. The bundle does not provide CPEs, platform detail, or a complete affected configuration matrix. Prioritize remediation for any legacy Tor systems used for anonymity, investigations, or sensitive routing. The issue is old, but exposed affected configurations could directly undermine privacy assumptions. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Tor to version 0.1.2.16 or later.; Disable ControlPort where operationally unnecessary.; Restrict control interfaces to trusted local access only..
