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-2023-49253 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hongdian H8951-4G-ESP. 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-2023-49253/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49253/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-49253","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49253/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-49253","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mm6p-hjx4-8rx3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Hongdian cellular router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain root access to Hongdian H8951-4G-ESP routers using a hardcoded password that cannot be changed via the interface.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CERT-PL","cpe":[{"product":"h8951-4g-esp_firmware","vendor":"hongdian"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"Root user password is hardcoded into the device and cannot be changed in the user interface.","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":"Predefined root password","id":"CVE-2023-49253","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in the network test tools","id":"CVE-2023-49254"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in SIMATIC CN 4100","id":"CVE-2023-49252"},"products":["H8951-4G-ESP"],"published":"2024-01-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Router console accessible without authentication","id":"CVE-2023-49255","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Buffer overflow vulnerability in Cookie authentication field","id":"CVE-2023-49262","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in the network test tools","id":"CVE-2023-49254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command execution using the certificate upload utility","id":"CVE-2023-49257","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Predictable encryption passphrase used in publicly accessible configuration file","id":"CVE-2023-49256","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Bruteforcing authentication cookie for a given user","id":"CVE-2023-49259","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-12"}],"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":"2025-06-20","vendors":["Hongdian"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain root access to Hongdian H8951-4G-ESP routers using a hardcoded password that cannot be changed via the interface.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49253/"}
