CVE-2025-30122

Remediation/Mitigation Strategy for CVE-2025-30122 - ROADCAM X3 Default Credentials

This document outlines the remediation and mitigation strategies for CVE-2025-30122, a vulnerability affecting ROADCAM X3 devices.

1. Vulnerability Description:

  • CVE ID: CVE-2025-30122
  • Description: ROADCAM X3 devices are shipped with a uniform, unmodifiable default credential set. This allows attackers to easily gain unauthorized access to multiple devices by exploiting these well-known default credentials.
  • Affected Devices: ROADCAM X3 devices.
  • Root Cause: The vulnerability exists due to the lack of functionality allowing users to change the default credentials, making all devices susceptible to compromise using the same set of credentials.

2. Severity:

  • CVSS Score: 9.8 (Critical)
  • CVSS Vector: (Derived from the provided data): CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (Assuming Network Attack Vector, Low Attack Complexity, No Privileges Required, No User Interaction Required, Unchanged Scope, High Confidentiality Impact, High Integrity Impact, High Availability Impact).
  • Severity Rating: Critical
  • Impact:
    • Confidentiality: Full access to sensitive data stored on the device (e.g., recordings, GPS data, configuration information).
    • Integrity: Ability to modify device settings, firmware, and potentially inject malicious code.
    • Availability: Ability to disrupt device operation, disable recording, or use the device as a botnet participant.

3. Known Exploit:

  • Exploitability: Highly exploitable. The vulnerability stems from the use of default credentials.
  • Exploit Details: Attackers can simply use the publicly known default credentials (not provided in the given data, but assumed to exist and be readily available) to gain administrative access to the device’s web interface or other management interfaces (e.g., SSH, Telnet if enabled and accessible).
  • Likelihood of Exploitation: High, due to the simplicity of the exploit and the widespread availability of default credential information.

4. Remediation Strategy (Long-Term Solution):

  • Vendor Patch: The most effective remediation is a firmware update provided by the vendor (ROADCAM) that:
    • Mandatory Password Change: Requires users to change the default password upon initial setup/login. This must be enforced.
    • Strong Password Policy: Implements a strong password policy to prevent users from setting weak passwords.
    • Password Reset Mechanism: Provides a secure and reliable password reset mechanism in case users forget their password.
    • Account Lockout: Implements an account lockout policy to prevent brute-force attacks.
    • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Consider adding 2FA for increased security.
  • Firmware Update Distribution: The vendor should provide a clear and easy-to-follow process for users to update their device’s firmware.

5. Mitigation Strategy (Short-Term Solutions/Workarounds):

  • Network Segmentation:
    • Isolate the ROADCAM X3 devices on a separate network segment (VLAN) to limit the impact of a potential breach.
    • Restrict access to the device’s web interface and other management interfaces from untrusted networks (e.g., the public internet). Implement firewall rules to allow access only from authorized IP addresses.
  • Disable Unnecessary Services:
    • Disable any unnecessary services running on the device, such as Telnet or SSH (if enabled and not required).
  • Monitor for Suspicious Activity:
    • Implement network monitoring and intrusion detection systems to detect suspicious activity, such as:
      • Failed login attempts.
      • Unauthorized access to the device’s web interface.
      • Unusual network traffic.
  • Password Protection (If Possible - Likely Limited):
    • If the ROADCAM X3 device’s interface somehow allows for password change through a loophole or undocumented feature, immediately change the default password. Even if it’s not officially supported, any change is better than the default. However, this is unlikely based on the vulnerability description.
  • Vendor Contact: Immediately contact ROADCAM to inquire about a patch and express the urgency of this vulnerability.

6. Timeline:

  • Immediate Actions (Within 24 Hours):
    • Network segmentation (if possible).
    • Disable unnecessary services.
    • Implement network monitoring.
    • Contact ROADCAM.
  • Short-Term Actions (Within 1 Week):
    • Evaluate and implement more robust network monitoring and intrusion detection.
    • Develop and test incident response procedures.
  • Long-Term Actions (Ongoing):
    • Monitor for vendor patch availability and apply it immediately upon release.
    • Continuously evaluate the security posture of the ROADCAM X3 devices and implement additional security measures as needed.

7. Communication:

  • Communicate the vulnerability and mitigation strategies to all affected users.
  • Provide clear instructions on how to update the device’s firmware when a patch becomes available.

8. Escalation:

  • If a breach is detected, immediately escalate the issue to the security incident response team.

9. Disclaimer:

These mitigation strategies are provided as a general guideline. The specific steps required may vary depending on the environment and the capabilities of the ROADCAM X3 device. It is important to thoroughly test any changes before implementing them in a production environment. The information provided in this document is based on the data provided and may be incomplete. Further investigation is recommended.
