Description
The affected Ebyte

product's vendor configuration utility permits access to administrative
functions without verifying the operator's identity under certain
credential conditions. An unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent
network could modify critical settings or change access credentials,
potentially preventing legitimate administrators from managing the
device.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability exists in the Ebyte NA111‑M firmware’s vendor configuration utility and allows an unauthenticated user on the adjacent network to access administrative functions without identity verification. This flaw enables an attacker to modify critical device settings or replace administrator credentials, effectively bypassing authentication and potentially denying legitimate administrators access. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑1390, an authentication bypass.

Affected Systems

The CNA data lists only the Ebyte NA111‑M firmware as affected; no other vendor or product variations are identified.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 indicates severe impact and high exploitability. EPSS data is unavailable, but the absence of a publicly released patch combined with the ability of an unauthenticated local network attacker to manipulate configuration settings keeps the risk high. The device is referenced in the ICA advisory but is not yet listed in the KEV catalog. Attackers are inferred to target the device from the local network, exploiting the configuration utility’s lack of authentication checks.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Contact Ebyte to obtain the current patch status and any interim mitigation guidance
  • Restrict network access to the device by isolating it to a separate VLAN or implementing firewall rules to limit traffic to trusted IP ranges
  • Change or strengthen default administrative credentials as soon as the device is accessible
  • Monitor Ebyte’s channels for an official firmware update and apply it at the earliest opportunity
