9.1

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Vulnerability in CIRCUTOR TCP2RS+ firmware version 1.3b, which could allow an attacker to modify any configuration value, even if the device has the user/password authentication option enabled, without authentication by sending packets through the UDP protocol and port 2000, deconfiguring the device and thus disabling its use. This equipment is at the end of its useful life cycle.
