Enterphone MESH - Hardcoded Credentials (CVE-2025-26793)
73Exploiting IPs reported
The Web GUI configuration panel of Hirsch (formerly Identiv and Viscount) Enterphone MESH through 2024 ships with default credentials (username freedom, password viscount). The administrator is not prompted to change these credentials on initial configuration, and changing the credentials requires many steps. Attackers can use the credentials over the Internet via mesh.webadmin.MESHAdminServlet to gain access to dozens of Canadian and U.S. apartment buildings and obtain building residents' PII. NOTE: the Supplier's perspective is that the "vulnerable systems are not following manufacturers' recommendations to change the default password."
CrowdSec analysis
CVE-2025-26793 is a security vulnerability in the Hirsch Enterphone MESH system, where the web GUI configuration panel is shipped with hardcoded default credentials that are not required to be changed during setup. This oversight allows attackers to remotely access the administration interface via the Internet, potentially compromising the security of numerous apartment buildings and exposing residents' personally identifiable information (PII). The risk is heightened by the complexity involved in changing these default credentials, making it easier for threat actors to exploit the flaw for unauthorized access and data theft.
CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 12th of June 2025.
CrowdSec network observations suggest that most exploitation of CVE-2025-26793 involves focused reconnaissance to identify viable targets. Attackers typically tailor their campaigns based on system exposure and configuration. It is unlikely that a given attack is accidental. Telemetry from the CrowdSec network also shows that exploitation activity for CVE-2025-26793 remains steady week-over-week. Attack volumes are consistent with long-term trends, indicating sustained interest from threat actors. CVE-2025-26793 continues to be an active part of the threat landscape and will likely remain this way for the forseeable future.
Attackers exploit the default credentials by sending POST requests to the FREEDOM Administration login endpoint, targeting /mesh/servlet/mesh.webadmin.MESHAdminServlet?requestedAction=login
to gain unauthorized administrative access.
