Vulnerabilities identified by security researchers with Cisco's Talos unit in Trend Micro Home Network Security devices could be exploited to elevate privileges or achieve arbitrary authentication.
The Home Network Security station provides users with monitoring and protection capabilities, including vulnerability scanning, intrusion prevention, threat protection, and device-based access control.
Talos researchers also discovered a hardcoded password vulnerability impacting the log collection server function of Trend Micro Home Network Security, which could be abused for arbitrary authentication by sending a specially crafted network request.
Trend Micro says it has "Received no reports nor is aware of any actual attacks against the affected product related to this vulnerability at this time."
Impacted Trend Micro Home Network Security releases include version 6.6.604 and earlier.
Trend Micro has already released firmware updates to address the bugs and supported devices should receive them through the automatic firmware update mechanism.
