CVE-2019-10479

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2019-10479 allows remote attackers to gain administrative access to Glory RBW-100 Front Circle Controller web interfaces using hard-coded credentials. This affects organizations using Glory RBW-100 devices with vulnerable firmware versions, potentially exposing building access control systems to unauthorized administrative control.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Glory RBW-100 Front Circle Controller
Versions: Firmware ISP-K05-02 7.0.0
Operating Systems: Embedded firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All devices running the specified firmware version are vulnerable by default due to hard-coded credentials.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete compromise of building access control systems, allowing attackers to unlock doors, disable alarms, manipulate access logs, and potentially gain physical access to secured areas.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized administrative access to the web interface, enabling configuration changes, user management modifications, and potential lateral movement within the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if devices are isolated behind firewalls, use network segmentation, and have additional authentication layers preventing external access.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web interfaces exposed to the internet can be directly exploited by any remote attacker without authentication.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, any network user could exploit this vulnerability to gain administrative privileges on affected devices.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires only knowledge of the hard-coded credentials and network access to the web interface. No special tools or skills needed.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: No official vendor advisory found

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

Contact Glory Systems for firmware updates or replacement guidance. No official patch instructions available.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Isolation

all

Isolate RBW-100 devices on separate VLANs with strict firewall rules preventing external and unnecessary internal access.

Access Control Lists

all

Implement IP-based access control lists to restrict which systems can connect to the RBW-100 web interface.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Deploy network segmentation to isolate RBW-100 devices from untrusted networks
  • Implement strict firewall rules allowing only necessary management traffic from authorized IP addresses

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device firmware version via web interface or console. If running ISP-K05-02 7.0.0, device is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check web interface system information page or use vendor-specific console commands

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt to authenticate with known hard-coded credentials. If authentication fails, the fix may be applied.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful admin login
  • Admin login from unusual IP addresses
  • Configuration changes from unexpected sources

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to RBW-100 web interface from external IPs
  • Traffic patterns indicating credential brute-forcing

SIEM Query:

source_ip=* AND destination_port=80 AND (uri_contains="/login" OR uri_contains="/admin") AND status_code=200
