Submit #639748: Tenda AC9 V15.03.05.19 Hard-coded Credentialsinfo

TitleTenda AC9 V15.03.05.19 Hard-coded Credentials
DescriptionA hard-coded credentials vulnerability was identified in the Tenda Wi-Fi 5 Router AC9 device running firmware version ac9_kf_V15.03.05.19. The root user account uses a hard-coded password. This password is stored in the file /etc_ro/shadow using MD5-crypt hashing, which can be easily decrypted by tools like John and exploited. For instance, it allows unauthorized root access to the device through network-accessible services or the administrative interface.
