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.
