CVE-2001-0618

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Orinoco RG-1000 wireless Residential Gateway uses the last 5 digits of the 'Network Name' (SSID) as the default WEP encryption key. This allows a remote attacker to determine the WEP key and decrypt RG-1000 traffic.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could intercept and decrypt data transmitted through the gateway, leading to a loss of confidentiality of information.

Recommendation

It is recommended to change the default WEP key to a stronger one and consider upgrading to newer encryption methods such as WPA2.
