  HiCoins as reward: 0 (problem unresolved)

I have this router with port 23 open, with a little poking around the net I found credentials to login via telnet after that all I had to do was type su followed by shell and viola I got shell access. My isp is playing dumb about this problem so I was advised to check for firmware update or contact huawei support. So can anyone help me about it? Thanks

Hello, friend!


Based on the information you provided, I found no misinformation related to this issue.


According to the ISP information and device information, I came to the conclusion that port 23 of the HG8245Q2 is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.


The WAN-side access port is closed, and the default LAN-side telnet is closed. Even if 23 port is open, the port cannot be accessed through external systems. Therefore, the security problem does not exist.


Thanks!

Hello, friend!
What I see is that port 23 is disabled by default. Have you enabled port 23? and how did you confirm that?

No I got this router from my isp couple of weeks ago when upgraded to 5g network. For no reason at all i did an nmap scan on it and these are the results of that scan:
"PORT      STATE    SERVICE
21/tcp    filtered ftp
22/tcp    filtered ssh
23/tcp    open     telnet
53/tcp    open     domain
80/tcp    open     http
49152/tcp open     unknown". After that I managed to get shell access to it via telnet. I have done absolutely nothing to the router default state! Is there a firmware update for this model?
