CVE-2026-59769Network attack vector

Settings tampering via hard-coded credentials

Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026

Hard-coded credentials in FURUNO ELECTRIC FA-50 all versions allow remote attackers to alter vessel identification settings. The network-accessible Ship Static Edit screen relies on a credential embedded in every affected release rather than a user-managed secret. Exploitation requires knowledge of the credential and access to the vessel's internal network, and it permits changes to the identification number and other device settings.
