ISS X-Force Database: ios-docsis-default-snmp(29054): Cisco IOS default DOCSIS SNMP string

Cisco IOS default DOCSIS SNMP string

ios-docsis-default-snmp (29054)

Medium Risk

Description:

Cisco IAD2400 series, 1900 Series Mobile Wireless Edge Routers and Cisco VG224 Analog Phone Gateway devices running specific versions of Cisco IOS have a default Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community string enabled, if SNMP is enabled on the device. The default community string exists because these devices are incorrectly identified as Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) compliant interfaces. A remote attacker with knowledge of the default community string could gain complete control over an affected device.

*CVSS:

Base Score:	8
Access Vector:	Remote
Access Complexity:	High
Authentication:	Not Required
Confidentiality Impact:	Complete
Integrity Impact:	Complete
Availability Impact:	Complete

Temporal Score:	7
Exploitability:	High
Remediation Level:	Official-Fix
Report Confidence:	Confirmed

Consequences:

Gain Access

Remedy:
