Detail

A vulnerability exists in certain Cisco IOS software release trains running on the Cisco IAD2400 series, 1900 Series Mobile Wireless Edge Routers and Cisco VG224 Analog Phone Gateways. Vulnerable versions may contain a default hard-coded Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community string when SNMP is enabled on the device. The default community string is a result of inadvertently identifying these devices as supporting Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) compliant interfaces. The consequence of this error is that an additional read-write community string may be enabled if the device is configured for SNMP management, allowing a knowledgeable attacker the potential to gain privileged access to the device.

Title: Cisco Systems Non-DOCSIS Platform Default DOCSIS SNMP Support Vulnerability
Description: Cisco IOS 12.2 through 12.4 before 20060920, as used by Cisco IAD2430, IAD2431, and IAD2432 Integrated Access Devices, the VG224 Analog Phone Gateway, and the MWR 1900 and 1941 Mobile Wireless Edge Routers, is incorrectly identified as supporting DOCSIS, which allows remote attackers to gain read-write access via a hard-coded cable-docsis community string and read or modify arbitrary SNMP variables.

Id Description
29034 Cisco IOS DOCSIS Persistent Default SNMP Community String

By default, several device-specific versions of IOS install with a default SNMP community name of 'cable-docsis' which is publicly known and documented. This allows attackers to trivially access the program or system.
