CVE-2025-28200

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

The Victure RX1800 router uses a weak default password derived from the last 8 digits of its MAC address, allowing attackers to easily guess credentials and gain administrative access. This affects all users of Victure RX1800 EN_V1.0.0_r12_110933 who haven't changed the default password. Attackers can take full control of the router and potentially compromise connected devices.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Victure RX1800
Versions: EN_V1.0.0_r12_110933
Operating Systems: Embedded router firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All devices with default configuration are vulnerable. The password is algorithmically derived from MAC address.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full router compromise leading to man-in-the-middle attacks, network traffic interception, malware distribution to connected devices, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized administrative access to router settings, DNS hijacking, network monitoring, and credential theft from connected devices.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if strong unique password is set and remote administration is disabled.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires only MAC address discovery and password calculation. No authentication needed for initial access.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None provided

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Contact Victure support for firmware updates.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Change Default Password

all

Immediately change the router's administrative password to a strong, unique password.

Login to router admin panel > System > Password > Set new strong password

Disable Remote Administration

all

Prevent external access to router administration interface.

Login to router admin panel > System > Remote Management > Disable

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate router on separate network segment with strict firewall rules
  • Implement network monitoring for unauthorized access attempts to router admin interface

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if router uses default password. Attempt login using last 8 digits of MAC address as password.

Check Version:

Login to router admin panel > System > Firmware Version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify new strong password is required for admin access and cannot be guessed from MAC address.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful admin login
  • Unusual admin access from unfamiliar IP addresses

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected traffic to router admin port (typically 80/443)
  • DNS configuration changes without authorization

SIEM Query:

source="router" AND (event="login_success" OR event="config_change")
