Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Connected ER2000 router and its cloud control platform, posing a serious threat to confidential data. These vulnerabilities enable attackers to inject malicious code and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
According to Noah Moshe from Claroty, these threats could be exploited by attackers to compromise the cloud infrastructure completely. They would be able to remotely execute code and obtain all client and device information.
The vulnerabilities found in the Connected brand’s 3G/4G routers put thousands of internal networks at risk. Hackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to take control of the routers, intercept network traffic, and even infiltrate advanced Internet of Things (IoT) systems.
The term XIOT refers to a wide range of cyber-physical systems, including industrial systems (OT and ICS), medical devices (IOMT), commercial devices (BMS and IoT), and other connected systems. XIOT has emerged as a result of the increasing digital transformation and the deepening integration between the internet and the physical world.
