Technical description

A hardcoded credential vulnerability exists in the firmware of multiple TP-Link routers (TL-WR845N v4, TL-WR850N v3, Archer C20 v6 & Archer MR200 v5). Authentication-related credential material is embedded within a password file in the firmware image and may be recovered through firmware analysis. Successful exploitation could result in unauthorized access to privileged functions on affected devices.

——3An issue was discovered in Quest KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SMA) 11.0.273. It installs with default user credentials. The kbftp account has a password of getbxf, which is publicly known and documented. This allows remote attackers to trivially gain privileged access to the FTP service interface, which contains MySQL backups. Sensitive information is stored in the database, such as privileged credentials for other systems.22h CVE-2021-320858.8 HIG

——14Pheditor is a single-file editor and file manager written in PHP. From version 2.0.1 to before version 2.0.6, Pheditor ships with a hardcoded default password admin (SHA-512 hash stored at pheditor.php:11). There is no mechanism to force a password change on first login. Any deployment using the default credentials grants an attacker full access to the file editor, file upload, and terminal features, enabling arbitrary file read/write and remote code execution. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.6.2d CVE-2025-59180—
