An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-1778 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: GajShield Data Security Firewall. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1778/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1778/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-1778","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1778/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-1778","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f9gp-vxr4-29wq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Data Security Firewall","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can log in as superuser using default credentials to execute arbitrary commands on GajShield Data Security Firewall devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CERT-In","cpe":[{"product":"data_security_firewall_firmware","vendor":"gajshield"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"},{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"This vulnerability exists in GajShield Data Security Firewall firmware versions prior to v4.28 (except v4.21) due to insecure default credentials which allows remote attacker to login as superuser by using default username/password via web-based management interface and/or exposed SSH port thereby enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with administrative/superuser privileges on the targeted systems.\n\nThe vulnerability has been addressed by forcing the user to change their default password to a new non-default password.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Default Credential Vulnerability in GajShield Data Security Firewall","id":"CVE-2023-1778","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Helmholz and MB Connect Line: Account takeover via password reset in multiple products","id":"CVE-2023-1779"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in linked message previews","id":"CVE-2023-1777"},"products":["Data Security Firewall"],"published":"2023-04-27","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-30","vendors":["GajShield"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can log in as superuser using default credentials to execute arbitrary commands on GajShield Data Security Firewall devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1778/"}
