## Key facts

- **Exploitation phase:** Limited Exploitation. The vulnerability is known but shows very limited attacker interest or exploitation activity.
- **CVSS score:** 10.0
- **Public exploit available:** Yes
- **Affected products:** Hirsch Enterphone MESH
- **Weaknesses:** CWE-1393 (Use of Default Password)

## Description

The Web GUI configuration panel of Hirsch (formerly Identiv and Viscount) Enterphone MESH through 2024 ships with default credentials (username freedom, password viscount). The administrator is not prompted to change these credentials on initial configuration, and changing the credentials requires many steps. Attackers can use the credentials over the Internet via mesh.webadmin.MESHAdminServlet to gain access to dozens of Canadian and U.S. apartment buildings and obtain building residents' PII. NOTE: the Supplier's perspective is that the "vulnerable systems are not following manufacturers' recommendations to change the default password."

## CrowdSec analysis

[CVE-2025-26793](https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/CVE-2025-26793) is a security vulnerability in the Hirsch Enterphone MESH system, where the web GUI configuration panel is shipped with hardcoded default credentials that are not required to be changed during setup. This oversight allows attackers to remotely access the administration interface via the Internet, potentially compromising the security of numerous apartment buildings and exposing residents' personally identifiable information (PII). The risk is heightened by the complexity involved in changing these default credentials, making it easier for threat actors to exploit the flaw for unauthorized access and data theft.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 12th of June 2025.

According to CrowdSec data, while opportunistic exploitation dominates, a portion of threat actors trying to exploit CVE-2025-26793 apply basic targeting methods such as port or service detection. This indicates emerging patterns of selective targeting.
In addition, according to the CrowdSec network, attack volume against CVE-2025-26793 has dipped slightly compared to the previous week. Although still commonly targeted, the decline suggests a cooling-off period. Long-term relevance remains, but attention is waning.

Attackers exploit the default credentials by sending POST requests to the FREEDOM Administration login endpoint, targeting `/mesh/servlet/mesh.webadmin.MESHAdminServlet?requestedAction=login` to gain unauthorized administrative access.
