AI Analysis

Impact

Netcore NR255-V routers running version 1.5.130703 contain a flaw in the user_pass_show.cgi component that allows disclosure of stored credentials. The vulnerability is triggered when a low‑privilege user interacts with the ui_config_2.xml configuration file and the auxiliary misc.js script. When exploited, an attacker can retrieve the router’s administrative user and password, compromising the confidentiality of the device’s management interface.

Affected Systems

The affected device is the Netcore NR255-V router with firmware build 1.5.130703. No other products or versions are listed as affected in the available data. Inspect all instances of this firmware for exposure.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high impact, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is unlikely to be widespread but still possible. The vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires only local access to the router’s configuration interface and does not need privileged credentials, making it relatively easy for an attacker who can reach the device network.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Netcore firmware update that fixes user_pass_show.cgi and related files.
  • If a firmware upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict local network access to the router’s management interface and disable remote administration until a patch is applied.
  • Remove or disable the ui_config_2.xml and misc.js components that expose credential data, or restrict their access via firewall rules.
