An exploitable unsafe default configuration vulnerability exists in the TURN server function of coTURN prior to version 4.5.0.9.

This can provide administrator access to the TURN server configuration, which can lead to additional attacks. An attacker who can get access to the telnet port can gain administrator access to the TURN server.
