| Description | Title
Missing Brute-Force Protection on UART Diagnostic Authentication Mechanism
Affected Product
Product: Beetel 777VR1 Broadband Router
Firmware Version: V01.00.09 / V01.00.09_55
Distribution: ISP-provisioned firmware
Vulnerability Type
Improper Authentication Attempt Restriction
CWE
CWE-307 — Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts
Severity
Critical
Attack Vector
Physical (UART)
Description
The UART-based diagnostic authentication mechanism on the Beetel 777VR1 router does not implement any form of brute-force protection. The interface allows unlimited authentication attempts without rate limiting, delay, CAPTCHA, or account lockout.
An attacker with physical access can repeatedly attempt credentials without restriction, enabling credential guessing or brute-force attacks against administrative accounts.
This weakness exists regardless of password strength and significantly reduces the effort required to obtain unauthorized access.

Screenshot and google drive link containing video reproducing the vulnerability have been added there.
Impact
Increased likelihood of successful credential compromise leading to unauthorized diagnostic shell access.
Preconditions
Physical access to the UART interface
Device running affected firmware
Exploitability
High. Unlimited attempts enable rapid brute-force or credential-stuffing attacks.
Mitigation
Implement authentication rate limiting
Introduce exponential back-off or fixed delays
Lock accounts after repeated failed attempts
Log and alert on repeated authentication failures
