TitleTOTOLINK Wi-Fi 6 Router X2000R-Gh-V2.0.0 Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information
DescriptionAn insecure password vulnerability was identified in TOTOLINK Wi-Fi 6 Router series devices running firmware version X2000R-Gh-V2.0.0. The root user account uses a weak password (cracked as "123456" using the John tool). This password is stored in the world-readable file /etc/shadow.sample using MD5-crypt hashing, which can be easily decrypted by tools like John and exploited. For example, it allows unauthorized root access to the device through network-accessible services or the administrative interface.
