FlowPoint DSL router firmware versions prior to 3.0.8 allows a remote attacker to exploit a password recovery feature from the network and conduct brute force password guessing, instead of limiting the feature to the serial console port.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older FlowPoint DSL router firmware exposed a password recovery feature over the network. That could let a remote attacker repeatedly guess passwords where the feature should have been limited to serial console access. Business risk is mainly legacy-router compromise if these devices remain reachable. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running FlowPoint DSL routers with firmware earlier than 3.0.8, especially where management or recovery interfaces are network reachable. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not KEV-listed in the provided bundle, but reachable outdated routers could create avoidable network compromise risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory any FlowPoint DSL routers still in service.; Upgrade firmware to 3.0.8 or later where available.; Restrict network access to router management and recovery interfaces..
