Contraseña hardcodeada en firmware (CWE-798) permite acceso no autenticado a la interfaz web del router sin privilegios previos. Acceso remoto a red pública (AV:N, PR:N, UI:N) = T1190. Impacto: obtención de credenciales válidas (T1078.001) y potencial manipulación de cuentas administrativas (T1098.0
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
