Descriptions

The INCLUDE_SECURITY functionality in Wind River VxWorks 6.x, 5.x, and earlier uses the LOGIN_USER_NAME and LOGIN_USER_PASSWORD (aka LOGIN_PASSWORD) parameters to create hardcoded credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a (1) telnet, (2) rlogin, or (3) FTP session.

La funcionalidad INCLUDE_SECURITY en Wind River VxWorks v6.x, v5.x, y anteriores usa los parámetros LOGIN_USER_NAME y LOGIN_USER_PASSWORD (conocido como LOGIN_PASSWORD) para crear credenciales fijas, que sea fácil para atacantes remotos obtener acceso a través de sesiones (1) telnet, (2) rlogin, o (3) FTP.

TP-Link VxWorks-based devices and 2-Series switches suffer from a large amount of vulnerabilities that the vendor refuses to address.
