Administrator access via exposed hard-coded credentials
Published Jun 27, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2024
Hard-coded credentials in TELSAT marKoni FM transmitters before 2.0.1 allow remote attackers to gain hidden administrator access. The unauthenticated /js_files/LogIn_local.js script exposes fixed factory-account credentials through auto_login(), and the account is hidden from normal user management. Network access to the web panel is sufficient to modify transmitter settings, overwrite EEPROM data, clear the database, and alter factory logs.
