Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
This vulnerability exists in the CP Plus CP-XR-DE21-S Router due to the presence of hardcoded HTTP Digest authentication credentials in the firmware that are identical across all devices running the affected firmware. An attacker with access to the local network could exploit this vulnerability by obtaining the hardcoded authentication information from the firmware.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to gain unauthorized administrative access and perform privileged operations on the targeted device.
AnalysisAI
Hardcoded HTTP Digest authentication credentials baked into CP Plus CP-XR-DE21-S Router firmware grant any adjacent-network attacker full administrative access without valid credentials. Because the credentials are identical across every device running the affected firmware, a single firmware extraction exposes the entire deployed population. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be adjacent to the target device - on the same LAN segment, VLAN, or broadcast domain - to reach the HTTP management interface; AV:A in the CVSS 4.0 vector confirms this requirement and excludes remote internet-based exploitation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) scores 8.7 and accurately reflects the exploit posture: adjacent-network positioning is the only barrier, complexity is low, no authentication is required, and the compromise yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the router. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No specific patched firmware version is identified in available data - patch status should be verified directly with CP Plus and via CERT-In advisory CIVN-2026-0428 at https://www.cert-in.org.in/s2cMainServlet?pageid=PUBVLNOTES01&VLCODE=CIVN-2026-0428. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all CP Plus CP-XR-DE21-S routers in your network, confirm affected firmware versions, and document network locations and administrative dependencies. …
