CVE-2025-68718 (GCVE-0-2025-68718)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-01-08 00:00 – Updated: 2026-01-08 21:22
VLAI
Summary
KAYSUS KS-WR1200 routers with firmware 107 expose SSH and TELNET services on the LAN interface with hardcoded root credentials (root:12345678). The administrator cannot disable these services or change the hardcoded password. (Changing the management GUI password does not affect SSH/TELNET authentication.) Any LAN-adjacent attacker can trivially log in with root privileges.
