Unauthenticated configuration access via hard-coded SNMP community
Published Sep 30, 2024 · Updated Sep 30, 2024
Hard-coded credentials in PLANET GS-4210 switches allow remote attackers to obtain read-write access through the SNMPv1 service. Affected firmware embeds a fixed SNMPv1 community string and accepts it as authorization for read-write management operations. Network access to SNMP and knowledge of the undisclosed string are sufficient to read or alter switch configuration and interrupt service.
