CVE-2026-44094 Details
Description
An unauthenticated remote attacker can enforce the system to fall back to a firmware partition with an insecure configuration including default credentials. This could allow the attacker to gain SSH access to the system as an unprivileged user "user-app". Charging could be interrupted.
