26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2005-2026 describes a critical vulnerability in Enterasys Vertical Horizon VH-2402S devices running firmware prior to 2.05.05.09, where a hard-coded debugging account with a default password allows remote attackers to gain elevated privileges. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating high severity due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, the presence of a hard-coded credential presents a persistent risk if unpatched.
