4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs

Summary

A malicious user with physical access to the device can boot the switch from factory settings without authentication, use the default administrative credentials to obtain administrative access, and save changes to the configuration file so that they persist next time the switch boots normally.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with physical access can gain full administrative control of the switch and persistently modify its configuration, potentially enabling traffic interception or a permanent backdoor in the network.

Recommendation

Restrict physical access to network devices, change default administrative credentials, and protect the configuration from unauthorized changes.
