Official description

Shenzen Tenda Technology IP Camera CP3 V11.10.00.2211041355 was discovered to contain a hard-coded default password for root which is stored using weak encryption. This vulnerability allows attackers to connect to the TELNET service (or UART) by using the exposed credentials.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Inadequate Encryption Strength

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Use an encryption scheme that is currently considered to be strong by experts in the field.
