CVE-2002-0812
CWE-200Published: August 12, 2002· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
Information leak in Compaq WL310, and the Orinoco Residential Gateway access point it is based on, uses a system identification string as a default SNMP read/write community string, which allows remote attackers to obtain and modify sensitive configuration information by querying for the identification string.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2002-0812 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2002-0812. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
