Description
Huawei HG630 V2 router contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain administrative access by retrieving the device serial number. Attackers can query the /api/system/deviceinfo endpoint without authentication to extract the SerialNumber field, then use the last 8 characters as the default password to log in to the router.

AI Analysis

Impact

Huawei HG630 V2 routers expose an authentication bypass that allows an attacker with no prior credentials to retrieve the device serial number via the public /api/system/deviceinfo endpoint. The last eight characters of that serial number are used as the default administrative password, so once the serial number is known the attacker can log in as the device administrator. This gives the attacker full control over routing configuration, firmware updates, and network traffic, effectively elevating an unauthenticated adversary to privileged access.

Affected Systems

Huawei HG630 V2 Router.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity vulnerability. The EPSS score is 0.00153, indicating a very low but non-zero exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw simply by issuing an HTTP GET to the device's /api/system/deviceinfo endpoint, which is accessible without authentication, and then attempting to log in with the derived default password. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack vector is the network; no additional authentication or restrictions are required.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest firmware update that remediates the authentication bypass.
  • Disable or restrict the /api/system/deviceinfo endpoint so unauthenticated users cannot retrieve the serial number.
  • Change passwords from the default value and ensure the device's administrative credentials are strong and not linked to the serial number.
  • Restrict remote management to trusted IP addresses or require VPN access.
