Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-55976, has been discovered in Intelbras IWR 3000N 1.9.8 which exposes the Wi-Fi password in plaintext via an API endpoint. This vulnerability poses a considerable threat to the confidentiality and integrity of the affected systems. Any unauthenticated user on the local network can exploit this vulnerability, potentially leading to system<\/a> compromise or data leakage. Depending on the nature of the data being transmitted over the network, the implications could be severe, ranging from violation of privacy to potential<\/a> financial loss.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-55976
\nSeverity: Critical (CVSS Score 8.4)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Intelbras IWR 3000N | 1.9.8<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit involves querying the `\/api\/wireless` endpoint of the Intelbras IWR 3000N 1.9.8, which exposes the Wi-Fi password in plaintext. This can be done by any unauthenticated user on the local network<\/a>. Once the attacker has the Wi-Fi password, they can gain unauthorized access<\/a> to the network and potentially compromise systems or leak data.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using a simple HTTP GET request:<\/a><\/p>\n

GET \/api\/wireless HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.IntelbrasIWR3000N<\/code><\/pre>\n
This request, when sent from an unauthenticated user within the local network, will return the Wi-Fi password in plaintext, thereby granting unauthorized access<\/a> to the Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as it is available. In the meantime, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation measure by monitoring and potentially blocking suspicious activity. In addition, changing the Wi-Fi password<\/a> regularly and limiting the access to the local network can further reduce the risk of exploitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
