The INCLUDE_SECURITY functionality in Wind River VxWorks 6.x, 5.x, and earlier uses the LOGIN_USER_NAME and LOGIN_USER_PASSWORD (aka LOGIN_PASSWORD) parameters to create hardcoded credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a (1) telnet, (2) rlogin, or (3) FTP session.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Some VxWorks-based devices can be built with hardcoded login credentials when INCLUDE_SECURITY is enabled. If telnet, rlogin, or FTP is reachable, a remote attacker may be able to log in. The bundle does not provide CVSS, KEV status, or a definitive vendor patch. Likely exposure is embedded or appliance firmware using affected VxWorks versions with INCLUDE_SECURITY enabled and telnet, rlogin, or FTP accessible. Because the affected product list is generic, confirm exposure through device vendor documentation, firmware build details, and network service inventory. Treat this as high priority for internet-facing or operationally critical embedded devices. The main business risk is unauthorized remote access to appliances or control systems. Prioritize asset discovery and management-service lockdown because the bundle does not provide complete product mapping or patch information. Mitigation focus: Identify products or firmware using VxWorks with INCLUDE_SECURITY enabled.; Disable telnet, rlogin, and FTP where operationally possible.; Restrict management services to trusted administrative networks only..
