TitleTenda CP3 V3.2 V27.5.57.101 Use of Hard-coded Password
DescriptionA vulnerability was found in Tenda CP3 V3.2 firmware V27.5.57.101 (ChipType AX_520). The firmware ships a SoftAP (setup/access-point) hostapd configuration with hard-coded wireless credentials. In the extracted filesystem path custom-x/softap/hostapd the following values are present: ssid=Tenda HGH wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=Tenda123456 An attacker within wireless range of a device operating in SoftAP/provisioning mode can authenticate to the SoftAP using these well-known credentials. This may allow local network access to the camera during setup or SoftAP-enabled states and can facilitate further attacks against management or other network services. Identification method: static analysis of the official firmware package (squashfs/custom partition). The hostapd configuration is present in the shipped firmware image. Affected component: custom-x/softap/hostapd in firmware V27.5.57.101. This is not a duplicate of CVE-2023-30351/CVE-2023-30352 (legacy CP3 hard-coded root/RTSP credentials on a different platform and firmware lineage) or CP3 Pro hard-coded credential issues on other product lines. This report specifically documents SoftAP WPA passphrase hard-coding in CP3 V3.2 V27.5.57.101 SoftAP hostapd configuration.
