CVE-2022-2107
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe MiCODUS MV720 GPS tracker API server has an authentication mechanism that allows devices to use a hard-coded master password. This may allow an attacker to send SMS commands directly to the GPS tracker as if they were coming from the GPS owner’s mobile number.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe MiCODUS MV720 GPS tracker API server implements authentication that relies on a hard-coded master password. An attacker who knows this password can send SMS commands directly to the GPS tracker while spoofing the legitimate owner's mobile number, effectively bypassing all authentication controls.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm MiCODUS MV720 device presenceInventory your network-connected devices and GPS hardware to identify any MiCODUS MV720 GPS trackers. Check device labels, management interfaces, or asset inventories for this specific model number.Affected if The organization has deployed MiCODUS MV720 GPS trackers in their environment.
-
Verify hard-coded password statusAccess the device administration interface or API server configuration. Attempt to locate the master password configuration setting. Compare against known hard-coded default passwords associated with this device model.Affected if The default hard-coded master password has not been changed or is still active on the device.
-
Check API server exposureDetermine if the MiCODUS API server that communicates with the device is accessible from untrusted networks. Review firewall rules, networkACLs, and any port exposures for the tracking platform.Affected if The GPS tracker API server is reachable from external or untrusted networks without proper network segmentation.
-
Review SMS command configurationExamine the device SMS command settings in the management console. Check whether number validation or caller ID verification is enforced for incoming SMS commands.Affected if SMS commands can be accepted without proper mobile number verification, allowing spoofed commands to be processed.
An organization is affected if they have deployed MiCODUS MV720 devices where the default hard-coded master password remains active and the device accepts unauthenticated or unverified SMS commands.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataContact MiCODUS for available firmware updates that remove the hard-coded credentials, and immediately disable or change the default master password if configurable; if no patch is available, consider replacing the device with an alternative GPS tracker from a vendor that does not use hard-coded credentials.
