Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Default root credentials are hardcoded and unchangeable via standard admin tools. π **Consequences**: Attackers gain full system control. Critical infrastructure (fueling systems) is compromised.β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: **CWE-1391** (Use of Hardcoded Credentials). The flaw is that the `root` password cannot be modified through normal management interfaces. It is a static, insecure default.
