CVE-2023-35837

NVD-CWE-noinfoPublished: January 23, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8
CVSS v3.1

Official Description

An issue was discovered in SolaX Pocket WiFi 3 through 3.001.02. Authentication for web interface is completed via an unauthenticated WiFi AP. The administrative password for the web interface has a default password, equal to the registration ID of the device. This same registration ID is used as the WiFi SSID name. No routine is in place to force a change to this password on first use or bring its default state to the attention of the user. Once authenticated, an attacker can reconfigure the device or upload new firmware, both of which can lead to Denial of Service, code execution, or Escalation of Privileges.

Risk Analysis

SolaX Pocket WiFi 3 devices use a predictable default administrative password based on the device registration ID. This critical vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain full control over the device, leading to potential code execution or denial of service. The CVSS score of 9.8 reflects the high impact of this flaw.

There is no known public exploit for this vulnerability, and it is not currently listed in CISA KEV. The flaw is remotely exploitable due to the network-accessible web interface.

Recommended Action

Users should manually change the default administrative password immediately upon device setup. Ensure the device is not exposed directly to the public internet.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2023-35837 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.
