CVE-2025-11126

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability involves hard-coded credentials in the Apeman ID71 system configuration file, allowing remote attackers to gain unauthorized access. The exploit is publicly available and affects systems with the vulnerable configuration file. All users of Apeman ID71 systems with the affected configuration are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Apeman ID71
Versions: Unknown - specific version information not provided in CVE details
Operating Systems: Unknown - likely embedded Linux-based system
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects systems with the /system/www/system.ini file containing hard-coded credentials. The specific IP address 218.53.203.117 mentioned may indicate a particular deployment or instance.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code, steal sensitive data, or use the device as a foothold for further network attacks.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to the system leading to data exfiltration, configuration changes, or disruption of services.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation and access controls prevent external access to the vulnerable interface.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely and public exploit code exists.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, the hard-coded credentials provide easy access to any attacker who reaches the system.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploit has been released to the public and requires minimal technical skill to execute due to hard-coded credentials.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None - vendor did not respond to disclosure

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Vendor has not responded to security disclosure.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Remove or Secure system.ini File

linux

Remove the vulnerable system.ini file or modify it to remove hard-coded credentials

rm /system/www/system.ini
chmod 600 /system/www/system.ini

Network Access Restriction

linux

Block external access to the Apeman ID71 system using firewall rules

iptables -A INPUT -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d [DEVICE_IP] -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the Apeman ID71 system in a separate network segment with strict access controls
  • Implement network monitoring and intrusion detection specifically for traffic to/from the affected device

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if /system/www/system.ini file exists and contains hard-coded credentials or sensitive information in plain text

Check Version:

Unknown - specific version check command not available for this embedded system

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify the system.ini file has been removed, secured with proper permissions, or modified to remove hard-coded credentials

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Failed authentication attempts followed by successful login using default credentials
  • Unauthorized access to system.ini file
  • Unusual system configuration changes

Network Indicators:

  • External connections to the device on management ports
  • Traffic patterns indicating credential brute-forcing

SIEM Query:

source_ip="*" AND destination_ip="[DEVICE_IP]" AND (event_type="authentication" OR event_type="file_access") AND result="success"
