CVE-2020-10275

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows attackers to generate valid REST API access tokens using default web interface credentials. Any system using the affected software with default credentials is vulnerable, enabling unauthorized API access for data theft or manipulation.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Specific product information not provided in CVE description
Versions: Version range not specified in provided information
Operating Systems: Not specified
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Systems using default credentials for web interface are vulnerable. The vulnerability requires network access to the REST API.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise with data exfiltration, unauthorized data modification, and potential service disruption through API abuse.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access and manipulation by internal attackers using default credentials to generate valid tokens.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if default credentials are changed and network segmentation restricts API access.

🌐 Internet-Facing: MEDIUM
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires knowledge of default credentials and network access to the API endpoint. Token generation formula is publicly documented.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified

Vendor Advisory: Not provided in references

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Change default web interface credentials immediately. 2. Rotate all existing API tokens. 3. Implement proper authentication mechanisms for REST API.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Change Default Credentials

all

Immediately change default username and password for web interface

# Use system-specific credential change procedure
# No universal command available

Network Segmentation

linux

Restrict access to REST API endpoints using firewall rules

# Example iptables rule to restrict API access
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport <api_port> -s <trusted_network> -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport <api_port> -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network access controls to restrict API endpoint access
  • Monitor API logs for unauthorized access attempts and token generation patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if default credentials work on web interface, then attempt to generate token using base64(username:sha256(password)) formula

Check Version:

# System-specific version check command not available from provided information

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify default credentials no longer work and new tokens cannot be generated with old credentials

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful API access
  • API requests using tokens generated from default credentials

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual API traffic patterns from internal network segments
  • Token generation attempts using predictable patterns

SIEM Query:

source="api_logs" AND (event="authentication_failure" OR event="token_generation") | stats count by src_ip, user
