Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 9 Sep 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

Organizations should prioritize upgrading Baicells devices to firmware versions newer than BaiBLQ_3.0.12 and BaiBU_DNB4_2.4.9 once patches become available. In the interim, network administrators should implement compensating controls such as segmenting vulnerable devices on isolated network segments with strict access controls to limit exposure. Employing network-level encryption (e.g., IPsec tunnels) can help protect data confidentiality despite weak hashes in device firmware. Monitoring network traffic for unusual patterns or unauthorized access attempts targeting Baicells devices is recommended. Additionally, enforcing strict privilege management to reduce the number of users with low-level access can limit exploitation potential. Vendors and users should engage with Baicells support channels to obtain updates or workarounds. Finally, organizations should conduct regular security assessments of their wireless infrastructure to detect and remediate cryptographic weaknesses proactively.

Description

CWE-328: Use of Weak Hash

Impact

For European organizations, especially those relying on Baicells network equipment for wireless broadband or private LTE/5G deployments, this vulnerability poses a risk to the confidentiality of transmitted data. Attackers exploiting the weak hash could intercept or manipulate authentication tokens or session data, leading to unauthorized access to network resources or sensitive information. This is particularly critical for sectors such as telecommunications providers, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprises deploying private wireless networks. The medium severity and the requirement for low privileges suggest that insider threats or compromised internal accounts could leverage this vulnerability to escalate data exposure. While the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly, the confidentiality breach could facilitate further attacks or espionage. Given the increasing adoption of private LTE/5G networks in Europe for industrial automation, smart cities, and IoT, the impact could extend to operational technology environments, increasing the risk of data leakage or surveillance.

CWE-328Use of Weak Hash (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessOWASP Top 10 A04:2025: Cryptographic Failures (opens in a new tab)
The product uses an algorithm that produces a digest (output value) that does not meet security expectations for a hash function that allows an adversary to reasonably determine the original input (preimage attack), find another input that can produce the same hash (2nd preimage attack), or find multiple inputs that evaluate to the same hash (birthday attack).
Architecture and Design
Use an adaptive hash function that can be configured to change the amount of computational effort needed to compute the hash, such as the number of iterations ("stretching") or the amount of memory required. Some hash functions perform salting automatically.
