## What is CVE-2025-46352?

CVE-2025-46352 is a critical vulnerability in Consilium Safety CS5000 Fire Panel, published on 29 May 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The CS5000 Fire Panel is vulnerable due to a hard-coded password that 
runs on a VNC server and is visible as a string in the binary 
responsible for running VNC. This password cannot be altered, allowing 
anyone with knowledge of it to gain remote access to the panel. Such 
access could enable an attacker to operate the panel remotely, 
potentially putting the fire panel into a non-functional state and 
causing serious safety issues.

Weakness: CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials)
