Exploitation Conditions

Requires an attacker on an adjacent network segment (AV:A) able to reach the device's HTTP basic authentication endpoint; exploitation is enabled by two combined conditions stated in the description - the auth implementation enforcing no retry limit or backoff, and the presence of a default service password that makes the keyspace exhaustible. Limiting factors: the vector is adjacent rather than internet-remote, so an on-network position is prerequisite; impact is limited to low confidentiality disclosure (no integrity or availability effect); and if the default service password has been changed to a strong unique value, brute-force exhaustion becomes substantially harder, materially reducing practical risk even though the missing rate-limiting remains.

Impact

The input provides a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 (medium) with vector AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N and only low confidentiality impact (VC:L, VI:N, VA:N) - no integrity or availability impact and no scope change. Attack vector is Adjacent (AV:A), meaning exploitation requires a foothold on the same logical/physical network segment, not open internet reach; this materially caps real-world exposure compared with a true AV:N network flaw. No EPSS score was supplied, no CISA KEV listing is present, and no PoC/exploit reference is provided - only a DIVD CSIRT advisory. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', indicating a moderate, scheduled-remediation priority rather than act_now or emergency. The underlying weakness (CWE-307) is concrete and credible: HTTP basic auth with no retry limit or backoff combined with a known default service password makes the credential keyspace exhaustible by brute force. Overall this is a real but bounded issue - the mechanism is clear and reliable where the default password persists, but the adjacent-only vector, low-only confidentiality impact, and absence of KEV/EPSS/PoC signals place it below high-urgency network-exploitable criticals. Missing data to note explicitly: no EPSS probability was provided and no CVSS 3.1 vector was supplied (only CVSS 4.0), so cross-framework severity cannot be independently reconciled from the input.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker positioned on the same adjacent network as a Delta UFC500 device reaches its HTTP basic auth endpoint and submits repeated credential guesses. Because no retry limit or backoff is enforced and a default service password is known, the attacker exhausts the credential keyspace (or simply uses the default) to authenticate and obtain the low-impact information the interface exposes. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; only a DIVD advisory reference is provided.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026

Delta UFC500 devices can be brute-forced through their HTTP basic authentication endpoint because the service enforces no retry limit or backoff and ships with a default service password, allowing an attacker positioned on an adjacent network segment to exhaust the keyspace and obtain low-sensitivity information. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium), and the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N with only low confidentiality impact, so integrity and availability are unaffected and an on-segment network position is required. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified in the available intelligence, and the priority label is this_month.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the provided intelligence, so remediation should focus on compensating controls while monitoring the DIVD advisories for updated guidance. Change the default service password to a strong, unique value; the assessment notes this materially reduces practical risk by making keyspace exhaustion harder, but it does not address the missing retry limit or backoff. Restrict network access to the device's HTTP basic authentication endpoint to trusted adjacent segments, since the attack vector requires on-segment reachability; the trade-off is reduced management convenience and the need for firewall or segmentation changes.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root-cause class is CWE-307, Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts, applied to an HTTP basic authentication service that accepts repeated credential guesses without rate limiting or backoff. The supplied CPE entries identify the Delta UFC500 product line as cpe:2.3:a:delta_electronics:delta_ufc500:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with no version constraint in the provided data. The description states that the missing retry limit combines with a default service password to make the keyspace exhaustible; the sources do not describe additional protocol-level or endpoint-exposure details beyond HTTP basic auth and the adjacent-network attack vector.
