CVE-2025-51381

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

An authentication bypass vulnerability in KCM3100 firmware allows attackers on the same local network to gain unauthorized access without valid credentials. This affects all KCM3100 devices running version 1.4.2 or earlier. Attackers can potentially take full control of affected devices.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • KCM3100
Versions: Ver1.4.2 and earlier
Operating Systems: Embedded firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All devices with affected firmware versions are vulnerable when connected to any network.

⚠️ 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).

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 device compromise allowing attacker to reconfigure settings, intercept traffic, or use device as pivot point for further network attacks.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to device administration interface leading to configuration changes, service disruption, or credential harvesting.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if device is isolated in separate VLAN with strict network segmentation and access controls.

🌐 Internet-Facing: LOW
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires LAN access but no authentication. Attack vectors likely involve crafted HTTP requests or API calls.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Ver1.4.3 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://notices.jcom.co.jp/notice/93847.html

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Download firmware update from vendor site. 2. Log into device admin interface. 3. Navigate to firmware update section. 4. Upload and apply new firmware. 5. Reboot device.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate KCM3100 devices in separate VLAN with strict firewall rules

Access Control Lists

all

Implement network ACLs to restrict access to KCM3100 management interfaces

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Physically isolate device on dedicated network segment
  • Implement strict firewall rules blocking all unnecessary traffic to device

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version in device web interface or via SSH if enabled. Version 1.4.2 or earlier indicates vulnerability.

Check Version:

Check web interface at http://[device-ip]/status or via SSH: show version

Verify Fix Applied:

Confirm firmware version is 1.4.3 or later in device administration interface.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unauthorized access attempts to admin interface
  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful access without valid credentials
  • Configuration changes from unexpected IP addresses

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual HTTP requests to device management ports
  • Traffic patterns indicating authentication bypass attempts
  • Unexpected administrative access from non-authorized hosts

SIEM Query:

source_ip IN (internal_range) AND dest_port=80 AND (uri CONTAINS "/admin" OR uri CONTAINS "/config") AND response_code=200 AND NOT user_agent IN (approved_agents)
