Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to network protections on the management port do not follow current best practices, under certain conditions. The default firewall rules for the management interface are not reliably reinstalled after first boot. As a result, a remote attacker can expose the management interface.
Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.
