CVE-2025-45813
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 · uneditedENENSYS IPGuard v2 2.10.0 was discovered to contain hardcoded credentials.
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 confidenceENENSYS IPGuard v2 version 2.10.0 contains hardcoded credentials embedded in the application code. These credentials can be discovered through code analysis or by obtaining the software binary, potentially allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative access to the system.

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 IPGuard v2 versionAccess the system administration interface or check the firmware/version information page. On the command line, look for version files or use 'show version' or similar commands if available in the management interface.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.10.0 (the affected version)
-
Locate hardcoded credentials in application filesExamine the application binary, configuration files, or source code (if accessible) for embedded plaintext passwords, API keys, or cryptographic keys. Search for patterns like 'password=', 'api_key=', 'secret=', or base64-encoded strings that decode to credentials.Affected if Any hardcoded credentials are found embedded in application code or configuration files
-
Inspect configuration files for plaintext secretsReview all configuration files in the application directory (e.g., config.xml, .conf, .ini, .properties files) for hardcoded username/password pairs, database credentials, or administrative account credentials stored in plaintext.Affected if Plaintext credentials are present in configuration files
-
Check application binaries for embedded stringsUse string extraction tools (strings, binwalk, or similar) on the application binary to search for credential-like patterns such as 'admin', 'password', 'root', or API keys that should not be present in compiled binaries.Affected if Extracted strings reveal credentials that appear to be hardcoded rather than dynamically configured
-
Verify administrative access controlsAttempt to access the administrative interface or API endpoints without providing credentials, or use the discovered hardcoded credentials to confirm they provide unauthorized administrative access.Affected if The hardcoded credentials successfully grant administrative access to the system
The environment is affected if running ENENSYS IPGuard v2 version 2.10.0 with hardcoded credentials found in application files that allow unauthorized administrative access.

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 ENENSYS for an emergency patch that removes hardcoded credentials. Implement network segmentation and strict firewall rules to limit exposure. If immediate patching is unavailable, monitor authentication logs for unauthorized access attempts using the default credentials.
