CVE-2018-9083

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions System Management Module (SMM) versions prior to 1.06

Description The issue concerns weak default root credentials in the System Management Module (SMM). These credentials could potentially be used to log in to the device OS if an attacker successfully enables SSH or Telnet connections through another vulnerability.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.06, change the default root credentials to strong, unique passwords to prevent unauthorized access. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling SSH and Telnet connections until the issue is resolved. Restrict access to the device OS to minimize the risk of exploitation.
