On AVTECH Room Alert 3E devices before 2.2.5, an attacker with access to the device's web interface may escalate privileges from an unauthenticated user to administrator by performing a cmd.cgi?action=ResetDefaults&src=RA reset and using the default credentials to get in.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2019-13379 affects AVTECH Room Alert 3E devices running firmware before 2.2.5. If an attacker can reach the device web interface, they may force a reset to default settings, then log in with default administrator credentials. This can turn monitoring hardware into an unmanaged or attacker-controlled device.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation for any exposed or operationally important Room Alert 3E device. The business risk is loss of trusted environmental monitoring and possible attacker administration of the device, but urgency depends on actual web-interface exposure.

Technical view

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated privilege escalation through the Room Alert 3E web interface. Public CVE text says devices before 2.2.5 allow a reset-to-defaults action that enables administrator access using default credentials. No CVSS score or CWE is provided in the supplied bundle.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to AVTECH Room Alert 3E devices with firmware before 2.2.5, especially where the web interface is reachable from user networks, vendor networks, or the internet. The supplied affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm device model and firmware directly.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. The issue is still serious because it requires only access to the device web interface, not prior authentication, and can result in administrator access after reset.

Researcher notes

The supplied CVE record identifies firmware before 2.2.5 and describes unauthenticated escalation after a reset-to-defaults action. Product metadata in the bundle is sparse, and no CVSS, CWE, exploit-in-the-wild evidence, or detailed vendor remediation text is included.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade AVTECH Room Alert 3E firmware to 2.2.5 or later.
  • Restrict the device web interface to trusted management networks only.
  • Change default administrator credentials and enforce unique strong passwords.
  • Check AVTECH guidance for any additional hardening or recovery steps.
  • Review whether monitoring continuity was affected by unexpected resets.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Room Alert 3E devices and record firmware versions.
  • Confirm no affected web interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Verify administrator credentials are not vendor defaults.
  • Review device logs or configuration history for unexpected resets.
  • Check monitoring alerts for gaps consistent with device reset events.
