CVE-2024-8449
Certain switch models from PLANET Technology have a Hard-coded Credential in the password recovering functionality, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to connect to the device via the serial console and use this credential to reset any user's password.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
