NVD-CWE-noinfoPublished: January 23, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
An issue was discovered in SolaX Pocket WiFi 3 through 3.001.02. The device provides a WiFi access point for initial configuration. The WiFi network provided has no network authentication (such as an encryption key) and persists permanently, including after enrollment and setup is complete. The WiFi network serves a web-based configuration utility, as well as an unauthenticated ModBus protocol interface.
Risk Analysis
SolaX Pocket WiFi 3 devices provide a permanently active, unencrypted WiFi access point that exposes configuration utilities and ModBus interfaces without authentication. This critical flaw allows remote attackers to access sensitive device controls. The CVSS score of 9.8 highlights the severity of this configuration oversight.
No public exploit is known, and the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV. It is remotely exploitable via the persistent, unauthenticated WiFi network.
Disable the WiFi access point if it is not required for ongoing operations. If necessary, restrict access to the WiFi network through physical or network-level segmentation.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-35835 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
