Authenticated privileged access via hidden console command
Published Nov 9, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Leftover debug code in the InRouter302 3.5.45 console allows remote authenticated users to enable privileged operations over Telnet or SSH. The hidden infct command accepts enable or disable and changes access to the infactory view, restoring its hard-coded-password path. Valid console credentials are required; successful use changes router console access rather than directly executing operating-system commands.
