Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in TOTOLINK T10 4.1.8cu.5207. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /etc/shadow.sample. The manipulation leads to use of hard-coded password. The attack can only be initiated within the local network. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Hard-coded password in TOTOLINK T10 firmware 4.1.8cu.5207 allows local network attackers with high privileges to access the /etc/shadow.sample file. The vulnerability is publicly exploited but has a low EPSS score (0.05%) and high attack complexity, limiting real-world risk.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability involves a hard-coded password (CWE-255) in the /etc/shadow.sample file of TOTOLINK T10 firmware. The CPE indicates the exact affected version is 4.1.8cu.5207_b20210320. The file typically contains password hashes, and hard-coded credentials can allow authentication bypass.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. As a workaround, restrict local network access to the device and monitor for unauthorized access. Disable remote management if not needed. Note that these mitigations may reduce functionality.
