The EDS-4000/G4000 Series prior to version 3.2 includes IP forwarding capabilities that users cannot deactivate. An attacker may be able to send requests to the product and have it forwarded to the target. An attacker can bypass access controls or hide the source of malicious requests.

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
Eds-4008_firmware Moxa * 3.2 (including)

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.
