Official description

A CWE-1392 “Use of Default Credentials” was discovered affecting the 130.8005 TCP/IP Gateway running firmware version 12h. The device exposes an FTP server with default and easy-to-guess admin credentials. A remote attacker capable of interacting with the FTP server could gain access and perform changes over resources exposed by the service such as configuration files where password hashes are saved or where network settings are stored.

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

The underlying weakness: Use of Default Credentials

The product uses default credentials (such as passwords or cryptographic keys) for potentially critical functionality.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Prohibit use of default, hard-coded, or other values that do not vary for each installation of the product - especially for separate organizations.
  • Force the administrator to change the credential upon installation.
  • The product administrator could change the defaults upon installation or during operation.
