CVE-2025-53507 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting multiple products from iND Co.,Ltd, specifically the HL330-DLS device using the MC7700 module with firmware version 1.03 and earlier. The vulnerability involves insecure storage of sensitive information, notably configuration data such as the administrator password. This insecure storage flaw means that sensitive credentials are stored in a manner that could be accessed or extracted by unauthorized parties, potentially through local or remote means depending on the device's exposure and access controls. The CVSS 3.0 score of 6.5 reflects a network attack vector (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). The impact is primarily on confidentiality (C:H), with no impact on integrity or availability. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication, increasing its risk profile, but the need for user interaction somewhat limits exploitation scenarios. No known exploits are reported in the wild as of the publication date, and no patches or mitigation links have been provided yet. The insecure storage of admin credentials could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to device management interfaces, leading to further compromise or lateral movement within affected networks. Given the device is a specialized hardware module, the attack surface may be limited to organizations using this specific product line, but the risk remains significant where deployed.

For European organizations using the iND Co.,Ltd HL330-DLS devices with the MC7700 module, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of administrative credentials, potentially allowing attackers to gain control over network devices or infrastructure components. This could compromise the confidentiality of sensitive configuration data and enable further attacks such as network reconnaissance, configuration manipulation, or pivoting to other critical systems. Sectors relying on these devices for critical communications or industrial control may face operational risks if attackers leverage this vulnerability. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate risk, but the lack of required privileges and the network attack vector increase the likelihood of exploitation, especially in environments where user interaction can be socially engineered. European organizations with limited visibility or patch management for embedded firmware may be particularly vulnerable. The impact on confidentiality could also have regulatory implications under GDPR if personal or sensitive data is indirectly exposed through compromised devices.

Organizations should immediately identify all deployed HL330-DLS devices with MC7700 modules running firmware version 1.03 or earlier. Until a vendor patch is available, mitigate risk by restricting network access to management interfaces of these devices, ideally isolating them on separate management VLANs or behind firewalls with strict access controls. Implement strong monitoring and logging to detect unusual access attempts or configuration changes. Educate users and administrators about the risk of social engineering attacks that could trigger the required user interaction for exploitation. Where possible, disable or limit remote management features to reduce exposure. Regularly check for firmware updates from iND Co.,Ltd and apply patches promptly once released. Additionally, consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to identify potential lateral movement or credential misuse stemming from this vulnerability. Conduct periodic security audits focusing on device configurations and credential storage practices to prevent similar issues.
