CVE-2023-41010Public exploit

Local password disclosure via UART logs

Published Sep 14, 2023 · Updated Sep 25, 2024

Insufficiently protected credentials in Sichuan Tianyi Comheart Telecom Tianyi Home Gateway TEWA-700G allow local attackers to read default password via UART logs. During console log output, firmware prints the gateway's default password in clear text instead of protecting or redacting it. An attacker needs physical access to disassemble the appliance and connect to its TTL UART interface; exposed credentials can enable authenticated administration and disclosure of sensitive information.
