Martem TELEM GW6/GWM versions prior to 2.0.87-4018403-k4 may allow unprivileged users to modify/upload a new system configuration or take the full control over the RTU using default credentials to connect to the RTU.

Weakness

The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the administrator, but the default is not secure.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Telem-gw6_firmware Martem * 2.0.87-4018403-k4 (excluding)

Extended Description

Developers often choose default values that leave the product as open and easy to use as possible out-of-the-box, under the assumption that the administrator can (or should) change the default value. However, this ease-of-use comes at a cost when the default is insecure and the administrator does not change it.
