Administrative access via password-prefix authentication bypass
Published Sep 22, 2025 · Updated Sep 22, 2025
Authentication bypass in Creacast Creabox Manager 4.4.4 allows remote attackers to gain administrative access through the login portal. Login validation accepts the creabox username whenever the supplied password begins with creacast, without validating the complete password. Public exploit steps require network access to the HTTP login, while CISA separately records required user interaction; successful access permits configuration changes and service disruption.
