The UPS Adapter CS141 SNMP Module is used by organizations to manage and monitor their Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. It is employed to ensure the reliable distribution of power and to prevent any disruptions in critical operations. Network administrators typically use this module in data centers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure sectors. This tool supports remote management, allowing administrators to oversee power-related activities and ensure power stability. Due to its remote capabilities, it is crucial for system administrators to ensure secure access and management. It finds applications in environments where continuous power supply monitoring is mission-critical, ensuring business continuity.
The vulnerability identified pertains to the use of default login credentials within the UPS Adapter CS141 SNMP Module. It can allow unauthorized users to access the control panel with the use of factory-set usernames and passwords. Such default credentials are often easily obtainable, creating an exploitable entry point for malicious actors. Default logins are typically left unchanged in many installations, increasing the risk of unauthorized access. This type of vulnerability does not require advanced technical skill to exploit, making it a substantial threat to systems. Security misconfigurations like these are a common security risk and can lead to larger security breaches if not rectified.
The technical specifics of this vulnerability involve endpoints where authentication is required, namely the API login interfaces on default configurations. The inputs for username and password are vulnerable to unauthorized access when set with default credentials. Attackers can use common payload lists like 'admin', 'engineer', or 'guest', paired with 'cs141-snmp' or similar common passwords, to gain access. Once authenticated via these methods, the server returns a valid access token through the API, suggesting successful login. This access can lead to administrative control over the device, risking its integrity.
If the default login credentials remain in use and are exploited, attackers can perform unauthorized actions within the module. This includes altering settings, disabling power monitoring, or even shutting down critical UPS systems. Such intrusions can lead to disruptions in critical operations, data loss, or power failures in facilities relying on these systems. The consequences of such a breach can extend beyond operational disruptions, including financial losses and reputational damage. Preventing unauthorized access through robust authentication configurations is thus essential to maintaining operational security. The risk of default login abuses necessitates immediate remediation measures to secure the module.
