CVE-2021-27162Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthorized ISP web access via hard-coded credentials

Published Feb 10, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Hard-coded credentials in the FiberHome HG6245D web daemon through RP2613 allow remote attackers to access ISP web functions. The webs binary embeds the literal user and tattoo@home credential pair and accepts it through the /fh HTTPS management path. Exploitation requires network reachability to that interface; successful authentication can expose ISP functions and open access to the CLI telnet service.
