Unauthenticated root access via passwordless Telnet
Published Dec 2, 2024 · Updated Dec 3, 2024
Missing authorization in Victure RX1800 firmware EN_V1.0.0_r12_110933 allows remote attackers on the LAN to obtain root access. The default-enabled Telnet service accepts the root username with an empty password instead of requiring authentication. Any device reachable on the same local network exposes a privileged shell that permits command execution and complete router control.
