About Weintek Easyweb
CVE-2024-55021 affects Weintek Easyweb, a product from Weintek. Before acting, confirm where Weintek Easyweb runs in your estate, who owns it and whether it is reachable from the internet, because exposure decides real risk more than the score alone.
What the flaw is
In plain terms: Weintek cMT-3072XH2 easyweb v2.1.53, OS v20231011 was discovered to contain a hardcoded password in the FTP protocol.
The weakness class is Hard Coded Credentials. A password or key is built into the software.
Based on its CVSS vector, the flaw can be reached over the network, needs no login, and needs no user interaction. Apply the vendor fix and confirm exposure on internet facing and business critical assets first.

An issue in the reset_pj.cgi endpoint of Weintek cMT-3072XH2 easyweb v2.1.53, OS v20231011 allows unauthorized attackers to execute arbitrary commands via supplying a crafted GET request.
An authentication bypass vulnerability in the authorization mechanism of Weintek cMT-3072XH2 easyweb v2.1.53, OS v20231011 allows unauthorized attackers to perform Administrative actions using service accounts.
Incorrect access control in the component download_wb.cgi of Weintek cMT-3072XH2 easyweb Web Version v2.1.53, OS v20231011 allows unauthenticated attack to download arbitrary files.
Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware through V1.03.51 contains a hard-coded authentication token that bypasses authorization checks for multiple management endpoints. An attacker can supply the special token value to invoke privileged functionality without valid authentication.
Two undocumented privileged accounts exist in Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware through V1.03.51. The accounts use vendor-defined password derivation mechanisms based on device-specific values, allowing an attacker with knowledge of the algorithm and required inputs to authenticate to the web management interface with administrative privileges.
A hard-coded cryptographic key is used by Altium Enterprise Server to sign file download URLs in the Vault service. Because the key is identical across all installations, an unauthenticated network attacker who can reach the server can forge valid download signatures and retrieve files from the Vault storage area without any authentication, session, or credentials. A separate path traversal vulnerability in the same download endpoint allows the configured storage root to be escaped, enabling reads of arbitrary files on the server filesystem. Combined, these issues allow an unauthenticated attacker to obtain sensitive server configuration and key material, which can lead to full server compromise. The vulnerability can be chained with CVE-2026-9152 to enumerate and bulk-download stored content. Altium 365 cloud deployments are not impacted in practice, as file storage uses object storage rather than the local filesystem.
