CVE-2022-28377
7.5HIGH
What is CVE-2022-28377?
Verizon 5G Home devices, specifically the InDoorUnit (IDU) and OutDoorUnit (ODU), exhibit a serious access control vulnerability due to reliance on static username and password combinations for the CRTC and ODU RPC endpoints. An attacker can generate this password using included firmware binaries by manipulating the MAC address of the IDU's base Ethernet interface, leading to potential unauthorized access and exploitation of the device's functionalities. This issue underscores the necessity for improved access controls and prompt firmware updates to mitigate risks associated with static credential usage.
