CWE-1188: Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default vulnerability exists that could potentially lead to unauthorized access which could result in the loss of confidentially, integrity and availability when a malicious user, having physical access, sets the radio to the factory default mode.

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.

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.
