Impact
An attacker who can supply the aes_pass argument in the backup_common.sh script can force the router to use a hard‑coded AES key instead of a user‑supplied key. This loss of key confidentiality exposes the backup archives to decryption by anyone who can read the backups, thereby violating confidentiality. The flaw is documented as CWE‑320 and CWE‑321, highlighting the improper handling of sensitive information and the use of hard‑coded secrets.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability is limited to Netcore NAP930 devices running firmware version 0.1.241010.141410. No other versions or products are listed as affected.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates a medium severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the flaw can be triggered remotely, an attacker does not need local access; the exploit was publicly disclosed and could be used against any exposed device running the affected firmware.
