CVE-2025-57577 Details
Description
An issue in H3C Device R365V300R004 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the default password. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that their "product lines enforce or clearly prompt users to change any initial credentials upon first use. At most, this would be a case of misconfiguration if an administrator deliberately ignored the prompts, which is outside the scope of CVE definitions."
A vulnerability exists in H3C Device firmware version R365V300R004, where default passwords for the root, useradmin, and telecomadmin accounts are set to the same as their usernames. These passwords are stored in a world-readable file, /etc/shadow, using MD5-crypt hashing, which can be easily cracked with tools like John the Ripper. Exploiting this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized root access via network-accessible services or the administrative interface.
