Title: Netcomm NB1300 Modem/Router Weak Default Configuration Settings Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Netcomm NB1300 modem/router is a device used to connect SOHO or Small Business networks to an ADSL service provider. The ADSL Router supports IP Packet routing and functions such as NAT and DHCP allowing users to have their IP address assigned automatically and share a single ISP account.
It has been reported that the Netcomm NB1300 modem/router ships with weak default configuration settings. The NB1300 has, by default, an FTP server (VxWorks 5.4.1) exposed on the WAN interface. The default username is set as 'admin' and the password is, by default, 'password'.
A remote user may connect to the FTP server and authenticate using default credentials if they have not been changed. The attacker may then download the router configuration information contained as plaintext in the 'config.reg' file. Other attacks may also be possible.
Information gathered in this may be used in further attacks launched against the victim host/network.
It should be noted that this vulnerability has been reported to affect all known releases of Netcomm NB1300 firmware.

- NetComm NB1300 4.4.1
