CVE-2012-6428: Carlo Gavazzi EOS Box Hard-Coded Credentials

The Carlo Gavazzi EOS-Box stores hard-coded passwords in the PHP file of the device. By using the hard-coded passwords, attackers can log into the device with administrative privileges. This could allow the attacker to have unauthorized access.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Carlo Gavazzi EOS-Box devices reportedly contain hard-coded administrative passwords in a PHP file. If an attacker can reach the device, they may log in with admin privileges and gain unauthorized access. The source bundle does not include patch details or confirmed exploitation. Exposure is most likely where EOS-Box management interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks. Because the issue involves hard-coded credentials, password rotation alone may not remove risk unless vendor guidance confirms it. Version and deployment prevalence are not established in the provided sources. Treat as urgent for any deployed EOS-Box reachable from external or shared networks. The business concern is unauthorized administrative access to an industrial device, with potential full compromise. Prioritize exposure reduction while confirming vendor remediation. Mitigation focus: Check Carlo Gavazzi and CISA guidance for product-specific fixes or replacement direction.; Remove EOS-Box management access from the public internet.; Restrict access to trusted administration networks or VPN paths..

Use of Hard-coded Credentials

Use of Hard-coded Credentials represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
