A vulnerability was found in Tenda AX12 Pro V2 16.03.49.24_cn. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Telnet Service. Performing a manipulation results in hard-coded credentials. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. A high degree of complexity is needed for the attack. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Ax12 Pro devices running firmware versions up to 16.03.49.24_cn contain hard-coded credentials that allow unauthorized access without authentication. Organizations using affected devices face immediate risk of unauthorized system access, data exposure, and potential lateral movement within the network. This vulnerability requires urgent remediation as no patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict administrative access to Ax12 Pro devices; deploy intrusion detection signatures for hard-coded credential exploitation attempts; enable detailed logging and monitoring of all access attempts to affected devices; implement VPN/bastion host requirements for device management access; disable remote management features if operationally feasible; consider temporary disconnection of non-critical affected devices pending patch availability.
