The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to access sensitive data inside exported packages or obtain up to Remote Code Execution (RCE) with root privileges on the device. The vulnerability can be exploited directly by authenticated users, via crafted HTTP requests, or indirectly by unauthenticated users, by accessing already-exported backup packages, or crafting an import package and inducing an authenticated victim into sending the HTTP upload request.
The product uses weak credentials (such as a default key or hard-coded password) that can be calculated, derived, reused, or guessed by an attacker.

By design, authentication protocols try to ensure that attackers must perform brute force attacks if they do not know the credentials such as a key or password. However, when these credentials are easily predictable or even fixed (as with default or hard-coded passwords and keys), then the attacker can defeat the mechanism without relying on brute force. Credentials may be weak for different reasons, such as:
Even if a new, unique credential is intended to be generated for each product installation, if the generation is predictable, then that may also simplify guessing attacks.
