AI-suggested
To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately upgrade all Wattsense Bridge devices to firmware version BSP 6.4.1 or later, where the hard-coded backdoor user has been removed. If upgrading is not immediately possible, physical security controls should be enhanced to restrict access to the serial interface, including locking device enclosures and monitoring access logs. Network segmentation should be implemented to isolate these devices from general IT networks, limiting exposure to potential attackers. Additionally, organizations should conduct regular audits to identify devices running vulnerable firmware versions and replace or update them accordingly. Employing intrusion detection systems that monitor for unusual access patterns on building automation networks can help detect exploitation attempts. Finally, coordinating with Wattsense for any available patches or security advisories and integrating these devices into the broader vulnerability management program is essential.
Description
The firmware of all Wattsense Bridge devices contain the same hard-coded user and root credentials. The user password can be easily recovered via password cracking attempts. The recovered credentials can be used to log into the device via the login shell that is exposed by the serial interface. The backdoor user has been removed in firmware BSP >= 6.4.1.
