Description:
fabio has reported a security issue in Dynalink RTA230, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain control of a vulnerable device.

The problem is that even when the administrative password has been changed, a default account remains active. This can be exploited to gain access using the following username/password combination:

Username: userNotUsed
Password: userNotU

Reportedly, the product listens on all interfaces by default.

Solution:
Disable remote access.

Use another product.
