CVE-2025-45813
📋 TL;DR
ENENSYS IPGuard v2 2.10.0 contains hardcoded credentials that could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to the system. This affects all deployments of IPGuard v2 version 2.10.0. Attackers could potentially take full control of affected systems.
💻 Affected Systems
- ENENSYS IPGuard v2
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code, steal sensitive data, and pivot to other network resources.
Likely Case
Unauthorized administrative access to IPGuard systems leading to configuration changes, service disruption, and potential data exfiltration.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if network segmentation and access controls prevent external access to management interfaces.
🎯 Exploit Status
Hardcoded credentials can be easily discovered and used without authentication. Public GitHub repository contains details.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.enensys.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
Check ENENSYS website for security updates. No official patch information available at this time.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Change Default Credentials
allManually change all default/hardcoded credentials in the system configuration
# Use IPGuard admin interface to change all passwords
# Check configuration files for hardcoded credentials
Network Segmentation
linuxRestrict access to IPGuard management interfaces using firewall rules
# Example iptables rule: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [IPGUARD_PORT] -s [TRUSTED_NETWORK] -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [IPGUARD_PORT] -j DROP
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network access controls to limit who can reach IPGuard management interfaces
- Monitor authentication logs for unauthorized access attempts using default credentials
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if running IPGuard v2 version 2.10.0. Review configuration files for hardcoded credentials.Check Version:
# Check IPGuard version through admin interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt to authenticate using known hardcoded credentials - should fail. Verify all credentials have been changed.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Failed authentication attempts followed by successful login
- Multiple login attempts from unusual IP addresses
- Administrative actions from unexpected sources
Network Indicators:
- Unusual traffic patterns to IPGuard management ports
- Authentication requests from unauthorized networks
