Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
An issue was discovered in Lantronix EDS3000PS 3.1.0.0R2. The authentication on management pages can be bypassed by appending a specific suffix to the URL and by sending an Authorization header that uses "admin" as the username.

AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Lantronix EDS3000PS device servers (firmware 3.1.0.0R2, EDS3016PS1NS and EDS3008PS1NS variants) lets a remote unauthenticated attacker reach protected management pages by appending a specific suffix to the request URL and supplying an Authorization header that uses 'admin' as the username. Successful bypass yields full administrative control of the serial-to-Ethernet device server without valid credentials. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.03%), but the flaw is trivially exploitable and carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3.
Technical ContextAI
The Lantronix EDS3000PS family are serial-to-Ethernet device servers used to network-enable RS-232/422/485 equipment, commonly in OT/ICS, industrial, and building-automation environments. The vulnerability is CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel): the device's web management interface enforces access control on canonical management page URLs, but that enforcement can be defeated by requesting an alternate URL form (a specific appended suffix) combined with an Authorization header naming the built-in 'admin' account. The server treats the alternate path/header combination as trusted, exposing privileged pages that should require authentication. The affected firmware is identified in CPE as cpe:2.3:o:lantronix:eds3016ps1ns_firmware:3.1.0.0r2 and cpe:2.3:o:lantronix:eds3008ps1ns_firmware:3.1.0.0r2.
RemediationAI
Consult the CISA ICS advisory (icsa-26-069-02) and the Lantronix vulnerability library for the vendor's fixed firmware; no exact fixed version number is stated in the provided data, so treat patch status as 'Patch available per vendor advisory' and apply the vendor-recommended firmware update for the EDS3016PS1NS/EDS3008PS1NS once confirmed. Because these are OT device servers, until patched apply network-level compensating controls: remove the management interface from any internet exposure and place devices on an isolated management VLAN; restrict access to the web management port to a small set of trusted administrative hosts via firewall/ACL (trade-off: legitimate remote admin must go through a jump host/VPN); and monitor for anomalous requests to management URLs containing unexpected suffixes or 'admin' Authorization headers. Disabling or firewalling the HTTP management service where feasible eliminates the attack surface at the cost of losing remote web administration.
