Vulnerable systems:
* Surecom Broadband Router EP-4501
Both the community name public (Which allows read access to the mentioned device, providing enumeration and gathering of sensitive network information) and the community name secret (Which allows read/write access to device, thus allowing restart and change of the network settings of the broadband router) are present in the default installation of the router. The SNMP server is enabled by default from the LAN and WAN interfaces.
Impact:
This vulnerability allows LAN and internet malicious attackers to retrieve and change network settings of the router.
Possible Solutions:
Disable default SNMP implementation, or change default community names.
Vendor response:
According to the Arhont Ltd. policy, all of the found vulnerabilities and security issues will be reported to the manufacturer 7 days before releasing them to the public domains.
