Inverter takeover via hard-coded Wi-Fi credentials
Published Feb 14, 2025 · Updated Feb 14, 2025
Hard-coded credentials in the GoodWe GW1500-XS 1.1.2.1 Wi-Fi Box allow physically proximate attackers to access the inverter web interface. The Wi-Fi Box accepts the fixed Solar-WiFi network password and admin/admin web login instead of device-unique credentials. Attackers within Wi-Fi range can change the inverter's network configuration or restart the device, granting administrative control and a bounded service interruption.
