CVE-2025-9725
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A vulnerability was identified in Cudy LT500E up to 2.3.12. Affected is an unknown function of the file /squashfs-root/etc/shadow of the component Web Interface. The manipulation leads to use of hard-coded password. The attack must be carried out locally. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. Upgrading to version 2.3.13 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor explains: "[T]he firmware does store a default password of 'admin'. This password has been deprecated since LT500E firmware version 2.3.13 and is no longer used. The LT500E does not have an administrator password set by default; a new password (at least 8 characters ) must be manually created upon first login the web management page."

"value": "Se identificó una vulnerabilidad en Cudy LT500E hasta la versión 2.3.12. Afecta a una función desconocida del archivo /squashfs-root/etc/sha4dow del componente Interfaz Web. La manipulación conduce al uso de una contraseña codificada de forma rígida. El ataque debe realizarse localmente. La complejidad del ataque se califica como alta. Se dice que la explotabilidad es difícil. El exploit está disponible públicamente y podría ser utilizado. La actualización a la versión 2.3.13 puede solucionar este problema. Se recomienda actualizar el componente afectado. El proveedor explica: “El firmware sí almacena una contraseña predeterminada de 'admin'. Esta contraseña ha sido desaprobada desde la versión 2.3.13 del firmware de LT500E y ya no se utiliza. El LT500E no tiene una contraseña de administrador establecida por defecto; se debe crear manualmente una nueva contraseña (de al menos 8 caracteres) al iniciar sesión por primera vez en la página de gestión web.”"
