The loginDefaultEncrypt algorithm in loginLib in Wind River VxWorks before 6.9 does not properly support a large set of distinct possible passwords, 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

This issue affects Wind River VxWorks before 6.9. Its default login password encryption could collapse many different passwords into fewer effective outcomes, making remote access easier to obtain through Telnet, rlogin, or FTP when those services are exposed. Exposure is most likely in embedded, industrial, network, or appliance systems running VxWorks before 6.9 with Telnet, rlogin, or FTP reachable. The bundle does not identify specific device vendors or product models. Prioritize internet-facing or remote-accessible embedded systems first. The risk is credential compromise leading to device access, but urgency depends on confirmed VxWorks version and whether legacy login services are exposed. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running VxWorks before 6.9.; Review Wind River guidance for affected releases and supported updates.; Disable Telnet, rlogin, and FTP where operationally possible..
