3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
3.2.1 INSECURE STORAGE OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION CWE-922
An insecure storage of sensitive information vulnerability exists that could potentially lead to unauthorized access to confidential data when a malicious user with physical access and advanced knowledge of the filesystem sets the radio to factory default mode.
CVE-2025-2440 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.2 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2025-2440. A base score of 4.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).
3.2.2 INITIALIZATION OF A RESOURCE WITH AN INSECURE DEFAULT CWE-1188
An incorrect initialization of resource vulnerability exists that could lead to a loss of confidentiality when a malicious user with physical access sets the radio to factory default mode, causing the product to not correctly initialize all data.
CVE-2025-2441 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.6 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2025-2441. A base score of 4.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).
3.2.3 INITIALIZATION OF A RESOURCE WITH AN INSECURE DEFAULT CWE-1188
An initialization of a resource with an insecure default vulnerability exists that could potentially lead to unauthorized access, resulting in the loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability when a malicious user with physical access sets the radio to factory default mode.
CVE-2025-2442 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2025-2442. A base score of 5.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).
