Console with no password

Fri Jul 06, 2018 8:21 pm

Today I accidentally found out you can bypass login/password on the serial console. This is on firmware 1.4.9

Connected using serial console I did this:

Code: Select all
Please press Enter to activate this console.

BusyBox v1.19.4 (2017-03-07 13:42:37 EST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
Username:
Username:
Username:
Username:
Username:
Username:
Username:
Username:
Username: lkjasdfa
Password: ******
^Cswitchtest#
switchtest#


Basically, enter any random invalid user/password and hit ctrl-c after you hit enter to drop into command line.

Please upgrade to v1.5.0 or v1.5.1rc1 and confirm issue still there.

If so I will assign a programmer to fix it.
