Crestron AM-100 with firmware 1.6.0.2 and AM-101 with firmware 2.7.0.2 stores usernames, passwords, and other configuration options in the file generated via the "export configuration" feature. The configuration file is encrypted using the awenc binary. The same binary can be used to decrypt any configuration file since all the encryption logic is hard coded. A local attacker can use this vulnerability to gain access to devices username and passwords.

Blink XT2 Sync Module firmware prior to 2.13.11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and commands on the device due to insufficient UART protections.

The Zyxel Multy X (AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System) device doesn't use a suitable mechanism to protect the UART. After an attacker dismantles the device and uses a USB-to-UART cable to connect the device, he can use the 1234 password for the root account to login to the system. Furthermore, an attacker can start the device's TELNET service as a backdoor.

Medtronic 24950 MyCareLink Monitor and 24952 MyCareLink Monitor contains a hard-coded operating system password. An attacker with physical access can remove the case of the device, connect to the debug port, and use the password to gain privileged access to the operating system.

An attacker could compromise these credentials and gain access to the system.

An issue was discovered on TK-Star Q90 Junior GPS horloge 3.1042.9.8656 devices. When using the device at initial setup, a default password is used (123456) for administrative purposes. There is no prompt to change this password. Note that this password can be used in combination with CVE-2019-20470.

Dell ECS versions 3.8.1.0 through 3.8.1.7 and Dell ObjectScale versions prior to 4.3.0.0, contains a use of hard-coded credentials vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to filesystem access for attacker.

A vulnerability in the Cisco FindIT Network Management Software virtual machine (VM) images could allow an unauthenticated, local attacker who has access to the VM console to log in to the device with a static account that has root privileges. The vulnerability is due to the presence of an account with static credentials in the underlying Linux operating system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to the command line of the affected VM with the static account. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in with root-level privileges. This vulnerability affects only Cisco FindIT Network Manager and Cisco FindIT Network Probe Release 1.1.4 if these products are using Cisco-supplied VM images. No other releases or deployment models are known to be vulnerable.

This vulnerability enables ssh access to minikube container using a default password.

Precor touchscreen console P62, P80, and P82 could allow a remote attacker (within the local network) to bypass security restrictions, and access the service menu, because there is a hard-coded service code.

The /root/anaconda-ks.cfg installation configuration file in International Datacasting Corporation (IDC) SFX Series(SFX2100) SuperFlex Satellite Receiver insecurely stores the hardcoded root password hash. The password itself is highly insecure and susceptible to offline dictionary attacks using the rockyou.txt wordlist. Because direct root SSH login is disabled, an attacker must first obtain low-privileged access to the system (e.g., via other vulnerabilities) to be able to log in as the root user. The password is hardcoded and so allows for an actor with local access on effected versions to escalate to root

ISOS firmwares from versions 1.81 to 2.00 contain hardcoded credentials from embedded StreamX installer that integrators are not forced to change.

An exposed Telnet Service on the Billion Smart Energy Router SG600R2 with firmware v3.02.rc6 allows a local network attacker to authenticate via hardcoded credentials into a shell, gaining root execution privileges over the device.

Calero VeraSMART versions prior to 2026 R1 contain hardcoded static AES encryption keys within Veramark.Framework.dll (Veramark.Core.Config class). These keys are used to encrypt the password of the service account stored in C:\\VeraSMART Data\\app.settings. An attacker with local access to the system can extract the hardcoded keys from the Veramark.Framework.dll module and decrypt the stored credentials. The recovered credentials can then be used to authenticate to the Windows host, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation depending on the privileges of the configured service account.

The SSH service is enabled on the Zingbox Inspector versions 1.294 and earlier, exposing SSH to the local network. When combined with PAN-SA-2019-0027, this can allow an attacker to authenticate to the service using hardcoded credentials.

In the Zingbox Inspector, versions 1.294 and earlier, hardcoded credentials for root and inspector user accounts are present in the system software, which can result in unauthorized users gaining access to the system.

GE Mark VIe Controller is shipped with pre-configured hard-coded credentials that may allow root-user access to the controller. A limited application of the affected product may ship without setup and configuration instructions immediately available to the end user. The bulk of controllers go into applications requiring the GE commissioning engineer to change default configurations during the installation process. GE recommends that users reset controller passwords during installation in the operating environment.
