Edimax Hidden Password Check Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote EdiMax Access Point ships with a default account ('guest'/'1234') which has backup rights on the remote configuration file. If the guest user does a backup of the remote config file, he will be able to obtain the password for the administrator account, since it's saved in cleartext in the config. Solution: Contact vendor for a fix. As a temporary workaround, disable the webserver or filter the traffic to this access point webserver via an upstream firewall.
