Trendnet · Trendnet Tew-823Dru · CVE-2014-8579
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** TRENDnet TEW-823DRU versions prior to 1.00b36 **Description** The issue is related to a hardcoded password for the root account, specifically `kcodeskcodes`, which can be exploited by remote attackers to gain access via an FTP session. This hardcoded password makes it easier for attackers to obtain unauthorized access. **Recommendations** For TRENDnet TEW-823DRU versions prior to 1.00b36, update the firmware to version 1.00b36 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider changing the root account password to a unique and secure value until the firmware can be updated. Restrict access to FTP sessions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
