Credential disclosure via plaintext password storage
Published Feb 27, 2025 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Plaintext password storage in DrayTek Vigor router firmware allows attackers with memory or physical access to dump credentials. The affected firmware retains passwords without encryption, but public advisories do not identify the storage object or process memory region. Memory or physical access to the device is required, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of stored credentials.
