CVE-2026-38058
HighCVSS 8.1Summary
The endpoint on the iDirect iQ200 VSAT terminal returns the complete device configuration as JSON, including the SECURITY section which contains MD5-crypt password hashes for the root SSH and web administration accounts. Any user with valid web credentials can extract these hashes and crack them offline using commodity hardware.
Risk Assessment
Exposure of privileged account password hashes allows an attacker to crack them offline and gain full administrative control over the VSAT terminal, potentially compromising a critical communications link.
Recommendation
Restrict access to the configuration endpoint to trusted administrative networks only, rotate privileged account passwords, and enforce stronger authentication mechanisms where available.
Other vulnerabilities in iDirect iQ200
See all- CVE-2026-38056High
A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the iDirect iQ200 VSAT terminal running firmware 23.0.1.0. The device ships from the factory with a pre-configured low-privilege local user account intended for field technicians, which provides the initial access required to exploit this vulnerability without obtaining or brute-forcing additional credentials.
- CVE-2026-38059High
The iDirect iQ200 exposes the /api/identity and /api/ REST API endpoints without authentication. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can retrieve sensitive device information including serial number, Device ID (DID), Terminal Private Key identifier (TPK), MAC address, and exact firmware version.
- CVE-2026-38057High
The iDirect iQ200 device does not validate CSRF tokens on state-changing API endpoints after authentication. The /api/reboot endpoint accepts POST requests authenticated solely by a session cookie lacking the SameSite attribute. A remote attacker can host a malicious web page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, automatically submits a cross-site POST request causing an immediate device reboot and satellite link loss.
