CVE-2025-1393

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain full administrative control over affected systems using hard-coded credentials. Any system running vulnerable versions of the affected product is at risk, particularly those exposed to untrusted networks.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Product information not specified in provided CVE details
Versions: Version range not specified in provided CVE details
Operating Systems: OS information not specified
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerability exists due to hard-coded credentials, making all default installations vulnerable regardless of configuration.

⚠️ 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).

🔒 Custom verification scripts are available for registered users. Sign up free to download automated test scripts.

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  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 leading to data theft, ransomware deployment, lateral movement across networks, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers gain administrative access to modify configurations, steal sensitive data, and use the system as a foothold for further attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if network segmentation prevents external access and strong monitoring detects credential usage attempts.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires only knowledge of the hard-coded credentials, which may be publicly disclosed or easily discovered.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: https://certvde.com/en/advisories/VDE-2025-021

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Check the vendor advisory for specific patching information. 2. Apply any available updates. 3. Change all default credentials. 4. Verify no unauthorized access occurred.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Isolation

all

Restrict network access to affected systems using firewalls or network segmentation

Credential Rotation

all

Change all default and hard-coded credentials to strong, unique passwords

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network access controls to limit exposure
  • Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring for authentication attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Review system configuration for hard-coded credentials and check if default administrative accounts are accessible

Check Version:

Check product documentation for version identification commands

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt to authenticate using default/hard-coded credentials and verify access is denied

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Failed authentication attempts followed by successful login
  • Administrative actions from unexpected IP addresses
  • Login events using default account names

Network Indicators:

  • Authentication traffic to administrative interfaces from external sources
  • Unusual administrative protocol usage patterns

SIEM Query:

sourceIP=external AND (eventType=authentication_success AND user="admin" OR user="administrator")
