Alert: Major vuln in eircom F1000/F2000 routers

    If you have remote management turned on in any form on these routers (Telnet, web, ssh) disable it immediately.

    Eircom include a secret account and login with these routers that leave them vulnerable to remote firmware flash, etc.

    I found this master login simply by dumping my home F1000 router config:

    I have confirmed as exploitable in the wild. I am led to believe that the F2000 is vulnerable too.


    EDIT: To clarify, the password on the zyuser account is the same for every F1000

    Firmware update within next two weeks for F1000. F2000 not affected according to eircom.

    Did they let you know if the firmware just changes the hardcoded credentials or does it also change the fact that their management port is open to the world?

    This is really worrying, I have put the router into bridge mode for now as stated above and am connecting via cable though not sure how much more secure this will actually make me given the ports are vulnerable!

    Is there any reason we can't just buy a new modem and use that to connect to Eircom instead?
