CVE-2019-15801 (GCVE-0-2019-15801)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-11-14 20:16 – Updated: 2024-08-05 00:56
VLAI
Summary
An issue was discovered on Zyxel GS1900 devices with firmware before 2.50(AAHH.0)C0. The firmware image contains encrypted passwords that are used to authenticate users wishing to access a diagnostics or password-recovery menu. Using the hardcoded cryptographic key found elsewhere in the firmware, these passwords can be decrypted. This is related to fds_sys_passDebugPasswd_ret() and fds_sys_passRecoveryPasswd_ret() in libfds.so.0.0.
