Credential disclosure via plaintext flash parameters
Published Mar 28, 2025 · Updated Mar 28, 2025
Cleartext credential storage in the BusyBox shell of Netis WF-2404 1.1.124EN allows physically proximate attackers to read passwords. The unauthenticated UART shell's flash all command prints persistent USER_PASSWORD and DEF_USER_PASSWORD parameters as plaintext. Physical access and connection to the router's UART test points are required, and disclosure is limited to stored credentials and other flash parameters.
