Descriptions

Netgear RAX43 version 1.0.3.96 makes use of hardcoded credentials. It does not appear that normal users are intended to be able to manipulate configuration backups due to the fact that they are encrypted. This encryption is accomplished via a password-protected zip file with a hardcoded password (RAX50w!a4udk). By unzipping the configuration using this password, a user can reconfigure settings not intended to be manipulated, re-zip the configuration, and restore a backup causing these settings to be changed.

Netgear RAX43 versión 1.0.3.96, usa credenciales embebidas. No parece que usuarios normales puedan manipular las copias de seguridad de la configuración debido a que están cifradas. Este cifrado se realiza por medio de un archivo zip protegido por contraseña (RAX50w! a4udk). Al descomprimir la configuración usando esta contraseña, un usuario puede reconfigurar los ajustes que no estaban destinados a ser manipulados, volver a comprimir la configuración y restaurar una copia de seguridad causando que estos ajustes sean cambiados.
