Hello,

i found a hidden user z*** with passwort *** on VMG1312-B30A in factory settings. Why this user exists at default config and has such easy password? The user has access to reboot the device etc and is a security issue.

Best,
baba

    hi @baba,

    Can you try to remove this account if you have concern for this? As I mentioned in another post, the fw version of your device is customized version. If you cannot make sure this change is ok or not, please contact with your service provider first.

    Hi @YeK,

    which customized version is this device using? I bought it a few days ago on Amazon directly from Zyxel as a dealer and I have not changed the firmware. The modem is used in a productive environment, can I delete the user without hesitation?

    Thanks!
