The standard access path of the IntelliBridge EC 40 and 60 Hub (C.00.04 and prior) requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.

IntelliBridge EC 40 and 60 Hub (C.00.04 and prior) contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or a cryptographic key, which it uses for its own inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data.

In Philips IntelliBridge EC40 and EC80, IntelliBridge EC40 Hub all versions, and IntelliBridge EC80 Hub all versions, the SSH server running on the affected products is configured to allow weak ciphers. This could enable an unauthorized attacker with access to the network to capture and replay the session and gain unauthorized access to the EC40/80 hub.
