CVE-2004-1791: The web management interface in Edimax AR-6004 ADSL Routers uses a default administrator name and password,...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-1791 describes Edimax AR-6004 ADSL routers exposing a web management interface with default administrator credentials shown in the login text. If left unchanged and reachable, an attacker could log in as administrator and control router settings. Exposure is most likely on legacy Edimax AR-6004 routers with the management interface reachable from untrusted networks and unchanged default administrator credentials. The supplied affected-product metadata is incomplete, so scope should be verified by asset inventory. Treat this as a priority wherever legacy AR-6004 routers remain in service. The business risk comes from easy administrative takeover of network edge equipment if default credentials and exposed management access persist. Mitigation focus: Change default administrator credentials on any AR-6004 device.; Restrict web management access to trusted administrative networks only.; Disable remote management if it is not required..
