Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
MiCODUS MV720 GPS trackers use a hard-coded master password in their API authentication design. If abused, an attacker could send SMS commands to a tracker as though they came from the legitimate owner. This creates business risk where trackers support vehicle, fleet, asset, or safety operations.
Executive priority
Treat this as urgent for fleets or assets where tracker commands influence safety, routing, recovery, or operational trust. Prioritize inventory first, then risk-based replacement or suspension if vendor remediation is unavailable.
Technical view
CVE-2022-2107 is a CWE-798 hard-coded credential flaw affecting all MiCODUS MV720 versions. The source assigns CVSS 3.1 score 9.8 with network attack vector, no privileges, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Sources do not provide exploit steps or a named patch in the supplied bundle.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to organizations using MiCODUS MV720 GPS trackers. The bundle states all versions are affected, but does not identify CPEs, deployment counts, internet exposure requirements, or fixed versions.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not marked KEV in the bundle, so active exploitation is not established here. The documented risk is that an attacker may impersonate the owner’s mobile number for SMS tracker commands because of hard-coded credentials.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports hard-coded credentials, all-version impact, and critical CVSS scoring. The supplied bundle does not confirm a patch, public exploitation, CPE mappings, or safe validation technique. Avoid live command testing unless authorized and guided by vendor-safe procedures.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory MiCODUS MV720 trackers across fleets, assets, and third-party telematics providers.
- Check CISA and MiCODUS guidance for any supported update, replacement, or compensating control.
- Reduce reliance on MV720 devices for safety-critical or high-value operational decisions.
- Replace or suspend affected trackers where the business impact of command abuse is unacceptable.
- Monitor tracker activity and owner-number changes for unexpected command behavior.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether any deployed GPS trackers are MiCODUS MV720 units.
- Record firmware or service versions, while treating all versions as affected per the bundle.
- Review SMS command logs or telematics records for unexpected commands or owner-number impersonation indicators.
- Check procurement, fleet, and vendor-managed asset lists for unmanaged MV720 devices.
- Track CISA advisory updates for remediation status changes.

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.
