Zebra Default Login Scanner

Zebra printers and devices are used in various commercial and industrial settings for printing labels, receipts, and tags. They are widely adopted across retail, healthcare, and logistics industries due to their reliability and advanced features. Zebra products are known for facilitating critical operational tasks with their advanced connectivity and efficiency. Security within these devices is crucial as they can be a point of unauthorized access if misconfigured. Monitoring them for vulnerabilities such as default login credentials is important to maintain secure operations. This scanner helps organizations identify default login configurations in Zebra devices.

The Zebra Default Login Scanner detects the presence of default login credentials, highlighting security misconfigurations. Default login credentials are typically used for initial setup and testing but must be changed to prevent unauthorized access. The scanner works by attempting to authenticate using known default usernames and passwords. If successful, it indicates that the device is using default credentials, posing a potential security risk. This detection is valuable for organizations to ensure that all devices are configured securely. By identifying these misconfigurations, organizations can prevent unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

This scanner attempts to log in to Zebra devices using commonly known default username and password combinations. It uses a POST request to the device's authorization endpoint, testing a series of credential pairs. If the device responds with an "Access Granted" message and a 200 status code, the scanner has successfully detected default login credentials. The test uses a pitchfork attack technique, varying both username and password fields in its detection process. This technique allows the scanner to efficiently identify misconfigured devices that still use default credentials.

Exploiting default login credentials can lead to unauthorized access to Zebra devices, allowing malicious actors to change settings or intercept print jobs. This could result in the leakage of sensitive information, disruption of business operations, or malicious attacks where altered print jobs disseminate misleading information. Organizations using Zebra devices in sensitive operational environments are particularly at risk if these defaults are not updated. Ensuring administrative credentials are properly secured mitigates the risk of exploitation.
