Diagnostic shell access via unlimited UART login attempts
Published Jan 25, 2026 · Updated Jan 25, 2026
Authentication throttling failure in Beetel 777VR1 01.00.09 and 01.00.09_55 allows physically proximate attackers to access the diagnostic shell. The UART diagnostic login accepts unlimited credential attempts without rate limiting, delay, or account lockout. Physical access to the device's UART pins is required, and successful password guessing exposes the administrative diagnostic shell.
