Severity CVSS v4.0:
HIGH
Type:
CWE-321
Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
Publication date:

Description
The use of<br />
hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability has been identified in the mesh<br />
functionality of Deco XE75 v3, XE5300 v3.6 and WE10800 v3.6. <br />
A shared RSA-512 mesh group private key is present in the affected<br />
firmware and is used by the mesh protocol for node authentication. An attacker who obtains the firmware image<br />
and has local network access may be able to authenticate as a mesh node without<br />
possessing a device-specific credential.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Successful<br />
exploitation may allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to impersonate a<br />
trusted mesh node and bypass mesh node authentication, which may permit unauthorized<br />
changes to device or mesh configuration, affecting confidentiality, integrity<br />
and availability.
