CVE-2024-22179Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Admin-panel takeover via unauthenticated credential blanking

Published Apr 18, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Authentication bypass in Electrolink FM/DAB/TV transmitters allows remote attackers to obtain admin-panel access without credentials. The web management application accepts unauthenticated parameter changes that set stored credentials to blank values and then treats the blank values as valid. No prior account or user interaction is required; successful exploitation permits account takeover and arbitrary password changes.
