CVE-2025-25729
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 · uneditedAn information disclosure vulnerability in Bosscomm IF740 Firmware versions:11001.7078 & v11001.0000 and System versions: 6.25 & 6.00 allows attackers to obtain hardcoded cleartext credentials via the update or boot process.
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 · high confidenceAn information disclosure vulnerability in Bosscomm IF740 Firmware versions 11001.7078 and v11001.0000 and System versions 6.25 and 6.00 allows attackers to obtain hardcoded cleartext credentials embedded in the firmware images through the update or boot process.

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.
-
Identify Bosscomm IF740 device in your environmentLocate the device model by checking physical labels, network inventory, or administrative interface for 'Bosscomm IF740' identifierAffected if Device is not a Bosscomm IF740 unit, then not affected by this specific CVE
-
Check installed firmware versionAccess device administrative interface or use firmware extraction tools to retrieve the current firmware version number; compare against affected versions 11001.7078 and v11001.0000Affected if Firmware version matches 11001.7078 or v11001.0000 exactly, then environment is likely affected
-
Check installed system versionAccess device administrative interface or system information page to retrieve the system version; compare against affected versions 6.25 and 6.00Affected if System version matches 6.25 or 6.00 exactly, then environment is likely affected
-
Inspect firmware image for embedded credentialsExtract firmware image from device or update file and search for plaintext password patterns, hardcoded credential strings, or credential storage files using strings or hex analysis toolsAffected if Hardcoded cleartext credentials are found embedded in firmware, then the information disclosure vulnerability is present
-
Review update and boot process logsCapture or review device logs during firmware update or boot sequence for any credential exposure, default password strings, or authentication token leakageAffected if Logs reveal cleartext credentials or authentication data exposed during update or boot, then the vulnerability is confirmed active
Your environment is affected if you have a Bosscomm IF740 device running firmware version 11001.7078 or v11001.0000, or system version 6.25 or 6.00, and hardcoded credentials are present in the firmware image.

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 dataImmediately rotate all default credentials, implement dynamic authentication mechanisms, apply any available vendor patches, and consider network segmentation to limit exposure of affected devices.
