Netcomm, Vulnerability in FTP server

NB 1300 modem/router

Affected firmware: all known versions

______________________________________________

Description and Background:

The NB1300 has by default the ftp server (VxWorks (5.4.1)) exposed to the

WAN interface.

The default password is often not changed by the User.

User: admin Password: password

When connection is made to the ftp server the routers core system

Files are exposed to the admin account.

Perform a simple "get config.reg" and the username and password

Of the account are given in clear text.

_______________________________________________

Impact:

1.

The username and password may be used to access the users

Account details, collect their email, use the data available to them

Etc...

2. (untested) The system files of the VxWorks (5.4.1) OS may be modified

or deleted

to impact a denial of service, rendering device useless.

_______________________________________________

Fix: disable the ftp WAN access and/or change

Admin account details.

_______________________________________________

Recommendations:

Vendor to supply product with interface disabled by default
