Since the product line reaches end of service in March 2026, users should plan to upgrade or replace affected devices before that date. Until then, restrict network access to the device's administrative interface to trusted sources only to reduce exposure.
Description
XWEB EVO versions 5.6.2 through 5.8.8 contain a hardcoded credential vulnerability involving the Administrator web account. The account uses a daily password mode without a stored password, allowing the authentication function to synthesize credentials without validating a secret. An attacker who can derive the MAC-based daily password can gain full administrative access. This product line will reach end of service in March 2026.
