Hard-Coded Backdoor Vulnerability in Motorola MBTS Base Radio

CVE-2023-23771

Summary

The Motorola MBTS Base Radio is exposed to a significant security flaw due to the presence of a hard-coded backdoor password within its Man Machine Interface (MMI). This vulnerability allows service technicians to access and manipulate the device without proper authentication controls, leading to potential unauthorized access and manipulation of the radio system. Since this backdoor password cannot be altered or disabled, the risk of exploitation is elevated, posing serious threats to the integrity and security of the communications managed by these devices.
