Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in GajShield Data Security Firewall firmware (Firewall Software). It has been classified as very critical. Affected is an unknown part of the component Web-based Management Interface. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a hard-coded credentials vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-798. The product contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key, which it uses for its own inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

This vulnerability exists in GajShield Data Security Firewall firmware versions prior to v4.28 (except v4.21) due to insecure default credentials which allows remote attacker to login as superuser by using default username/password via web-based management interface and/or exposed SSH port thereby enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with administrative/superuser privileges on the targeted systems. The vulnerability has been addressed by forcing the user to change their default password to a new non-default password.

The weakness was published 04/27/2023 as CIVN-2023-0119. The advisory is shared for download at cert-in.org.in. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2023-1778 since 03/31/2023. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 05/21/2023). The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1110.001.

Upgrading to version 4.28 eliminates this vulnerability.
