AI Analysis

Impact

An HTTP basic authentication interface on the Delta UFC500 web interface has no retry limit or backoff, allowing an attacker to exhaust the small keyspace defined by the default service password. This weakness, classified as CWE-307, lets an adversary gain unauthorized administrative access by brute‑forcing login credentials, potentially compromising device configuration and control.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Delta Electronics Delta UFC500 devices. No specific firmware or version information was provided in the data, so all versions currently running the insecure web interface are considered at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity, while the lack of an EPSS score and the absence of a KEV listing suggest that public exploitation is not yet widespread. Nonetheless, the absence of retry limits means the attack is technically feasible with minimal effort, especially since the default password is widely known and easily guessable. The risk remains primarily real for devices exposed on managed networks or the Internet where an attacker can target the web interface directly.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update to the latest version.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Delta UFC500 firmware update that addresses the unrestricted authentication vulnerability.
  • Immediately change the default web interface credentials to a strong, unique password and disable any default accounts that are no longer needed.
  • Restrict access to the web interface by configuring network firewalls or ACLs to allow connections only from trusted IP ranges.
  • Enable detailed logging for authentication attempts and review logs regularly for signs of brute‑force activity.
  • If the web interface is not essential, consider disabling it entirely to eliminate the attack surface.
