IDC SFX2100 Satalite Recievers set the /etc/resolv.conf file to be world-writable by any local user, allowing DNS resolver tampering that can redirect network communications, facilitate man-in-the-middle attacks, and cause denial of service.

The IDC SFX2100 Satellite Receiver sets overly permissive file system permissions on the monitor user's home directory. The directory is configured with permissions 0777, granting read, write, and execute access to all local users on the system, which may cause local privilege escalation depending on conditions of the system due to the presence of highly privileged processes and binaries residing within the affected directory.

IDC SFX2100 Satellite Receiver firmware ships with multiple daemon configuration files for routing components (e.g., zebra, bgpd, ospfd, and ripd) that are owned by root but world-readable. The configuration files (e.g., zebra.conf, bgpd.conf, ospfd.conf, ripd.conf) contain hardcoded or otherwise insecure plaintext passwords (including “enable”/privileged-mode credentials). A remote actor is able to abuse the reuse/hardcoded nature of these credentials to further access other systems in the network, gain a foothold on the satellite receiver or potentially locally privilege escalate.
