Account takeover via unlimited password guesses
Published Jul 29, 2025 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
Improper authentication throttling in Grandstream Networks UCM6510 1.0.20.52 and earlier allows remote attackers to access accounts. The login authentication handler accepts unlimited password guesses instead of enforcing the documented failed-attempt limit and IP ban. No prior authentication or user interaction is required, but account access depends on guessing a valid password.
