CVE-2024-41161Network attack vector

Unauthenticated data access via hard-coded credentials

Published Aug 8, 2024 · Updated Aug 9, 2024

Hard-coded credentials in VONETS WiFi bridge firmware 3.3.23.6.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to read administrator-accessible data. The firmware embeds administrator credentials in accounts that remain enabled and cannot be disabled, so supplying those fixed credentials bypasses normal authentication. No prior access or user interaction is required; the CNA assessment limits the reported consequence to confidentiality loss.
