VM images built with Kubernetes Image Builder Nutanix or OVA providers use default credentials for Windows images if user did not override

A security issue was discovered in the Kubernetes Image Builder where default credentials are enabled during the Windows image build process when using the Nutanix or VMware OVA providers. These credentials, which allow root access, are disabled at the conclusion of the build. Kubernetes clusters are only affected if their nodes use VM images created via the Image Builder project and the vulnerability was exploited during the build process, which requires an attacker to access the build VM and modify the image while the build is in progress.

Hard-coded OS root credentials in eCharge Hardy Barth cPH2 / cPP2 charging stations

The `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/shadow` files reveal hard-coded password hashes for the operating system "root" user. The credentials are shipped with the update files. There is no option for deleting or changing their passwords for an enduser. An attacker can use the credentials to log into the device. Authentication can be performed via SSH backdoor or likely via physical access (UART shell).

Hardcoded credentials in KAON CG3000T/CG3000CT routers

The firmware in KAON CG3000TC and CG3000T routers contains hard-coded credentials in clear text (shared across all routers of this model) that an unauthenticated remote attacker could use to execute commands with root privileges. This vulnerability has been fixed in firmware version: 1.00.67 for CG3000TC and 1.00.27 for CG3000T.

Hard-coded web interface credentials in eCharge Hardy Barth cPH2 / cPP2 charging stations

There are several scripts in the web interface that are accessible via undocumented hard-coded credentials. The scripts provide access to additional administrative/debug functionality and are likely intended for debugging during development and provides an additional attack surface.

Hardcoded Legacy Accounts Allowing Control Over Access Managers in dormakaba Kaba exos 9300

Multiple hardcoded credentials have been identified, which are allowed to sign-in to the exos 9300 datapoint server running on port 1004 and 1005. This server is used for relaying status information from and to the Access Managers. This information, among other things, is used to graphically visualize open doors and alerts. However, controlling the Access Managers via this interface is also possible. To send and receive status information, authentication is necessary. The Kaba exos 9300 application contains hard-coded credentials for four different users, which are allowed to login to the datapoint server and receive as well as send information, including commands to open arbitrary doors.

onion-site-template tor Secrets Baked Into Image

onion-site-template is a complete, scalable tor hidden service self-hosting sample. Versions which include commit 3196bd89 contain a baked-in tor image if the secrets were copied from an existing onion domain. A website could be compromised if a user shared the baked-in image, or if someone were able to acquire access to the user's device outside of a containerized environment. This is fixed by commit bc9ba0fd.

Project AI API Key Exposure in Source Code

Project AI is a platform designed to create AI agents. Prior to the pre-beta version, a hardcoded API key was present in the source code. This issue has been patched in the pre-beta version.

Weidmueller: Authentication Vulnerability due to Hard-coded Credentials

An unauthenticated remote attacker can use hard-coded credentials to gain full administration privileges on the affected product.

Heatmiser Netmonitor 3.03 - Hardcoded Credentials

Heatmiser Netmonitor 3.03 contains a hardcoded credentials vulnerability in the networkSetup.htm page with predictable admin login credentials. Attackers can access the device by using the hard-coded username 'admin' and password 'admin' in the hidden form input fields.

Disclosure of Alibaba (OSS) Keys In Ecovacs Home Android and iOS Mobile Applications

Ecovacs Home Android and iOS Mobile Applications up to version 3.3.0 contained embedded access keys and secrets for Alibaba Object Storage Service (OSS), leading to sensitive data disclosure.

Weak Hard-coded Credentials

The firmware of all Wattsense Bridge devices contain the same hard-coded user and root credentials. The user password can be easily recovered via password cracking attempts. The recovered credentials can be used to log into the device via the login shell that is exposed by the serial interface. The backdoor user has been removed in firmware BSP >= 6.4.1.

Use of Hard-coded Credentials Optigo Networks ONS NC600

In Optigo Networks ONS NC600 versions 4.2.1-084 through 4.7.2-330, an attacker could connect with the device's ssh server and utilize the system's components to perform OS command executions.

Hardcoded SQLite password in FARA

Use of hard-coded, the same among all vulnerable installations SQLite credentials vulnerability in SIGNUM-NET FARA allows to read and manipulate local-stored database.This issue affects FARA: through 5.0.80.34.

Use of Hard-coded Credentials in SunPower PVS6

The SunPower PVS6's BluetoothLE interface is vulnerable due to its use of hardcoded encryption parameters and publicly accessible protocol details. An attacker within Bluetooth range could exploit this vulnerability to gain full access to the device's servicing interface. This access allows the attacker to perform actions such as firmware replacement, disabling power production, modifying grid settings, creating SSH tunnels, altering firewall settings, and manipulating connected devices.

Hard-coded AWS Key in AL-KO Robolinho Update Software

AL-KO Robolinho Update Software has hard-coded AWS Access and Secret keys that allow anyone to access AL-KO's AWS bucket. Using the keys directly might give the attacker greater access than the app itself. Key grants AT LEAST read access to some of the objects in bucket. The vendor was notified early about this vulnerability, but didn't respond with the details of vulnerability or vulnerable version range. Only versions 8.0.21.0610 and 8.0.22.0524 were tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested and might also be vulnerable.

Credential Exposure vulnerability in MEPIS RM

A vulnerability was identified in MEPIS RM, an industrial software product developed by Metronik. The application contained a hardcoded cryptographic key within the Mx.Web.ComponentModel.dll component. When the option to store domain passwords was enabled, this key was used to encrypt user passwords before storing them in the application’s database. An attacker with sufficient privileges to access the database could extract the encrypted passwords, decrypt them using the embedded key, and gain unauthorized access to the associated ICS/OT environment.

Civi - Job Board & Freelance Marketplace WordPress Theme <= 2.1.4 - Sensitive Information Exposure

The Civi - Job Board & Freelance Marketplace WordPress Theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.4 via hard-coded credentials. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including LinkedIn client and secret keys.

5VTechnologies Blue Angel Software Suite Hardcoded Credentials

A hardcoded credential vulnerability exists in the Blue Angel Software Suite deployed on embedded Linux systems. The application contains multiple known default and hardcoded user accounts that are not disclosed in public documentation. These accounts allow unauthenticated or low-privilege attackers to gain administrative access to the device’s web interface. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-01-26 UTC.

Gardyn Mobile Application and Device Firmware Use Hard-coded Credentials

Storage credentials are hardcoded in the mobile app and device firmware. These credentials do not adequately limit end user permissions and do not expire within a reasonable amount of time. This vulnerability may grant unauthorized access to production storage containers.

A Use of Hard-Coded Cryptographic Key issue was discovered in Hyundai Motor America Blue Link 3.9.5 and 3.9.4. The application uses a hard-coded decryption password to protect sensitive user information.
