CVE-2024-8448
Certain switch models from PLANET Technology have a hard-coded credential in the specific command-line interface, allowing remote attackers with regular privilege to log in with this credential and obtain a Linux root shell.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
