7.3 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2017-9137 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting ceragon fiberair_ip-10_firmware. It was published on May 21, 2017 and has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 7.3 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 7.3, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.
Technical Description
Ceragon FibeAir IP-10 wireless radios through 7.2.0 have a default password of mateidu for the mateidu account (a hidden user account established by the vendor). This account can be accessed via both the web interface and SSH. In the web interface, this simply grants an attacker read-only access to the device's settings. However, when using SSH, this gives an attacker access to a Linux shell. NOTE: the vendor has commented "The mateidu user is a known user, which is mentioned in the FibeAir IP-10 User Guide. Customers are instructed to change the mateidu user password. Changing the user password fully solves the vulnerability."
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from ceragon. Update fiberair_ip-10_firmware to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
