Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An issue in Mercusys AC12 V2 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via a hardcoded 512-bit RSA Private Key.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker could use the known private key to impersonate or decrypt communications, leading to arbitrary code execution and device compromise. This may threaten network integrity and confidentiality.

Recommendation

Update the device firmware if the vendor has released a fix removing the hardcoded key. Otherwise, consider replacing the device with a model not affected by this issue.
