Summary
A vulnerability in Draytek products (AP903, AP912C, AP918R) stems from insecure configuration of the ripd.conf file, which contains a hardcoded weak password. An attacker with network access can exploit this to gain unauthorized control over the routing daemon.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the ability to alter network routes or intercept traffic, potentially compromising data confidentiality and integrity within the organization's network.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update the firmware to the latest version and change default passwords in the ripd.conf configuration to strong, unique values.
