Module Overview


Name: NUUO NVRmini 2 / NETGEAR ReadyNAS Surveillance Default Configuration Load and Administrator Password Reset
Module: auxiliary/admin/http/nuuo_nvrmini_reset
Source code: modules/auxiliary/admin/http/nuuo_nvrmini_reset.rb
Disclosure date: 2016-08-04
Last modification time: 2022-01-13 18:43:41 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): -
Target service / protocol: http, https
Target network port(s): 80, 443, 3000, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8081, 8443, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: CVE-2016-5676

The NVRmini 2 Network Video Recorded and the ReadyNAS Surveillance application are vulnerable to an administrator password reset on the exposed web management interface. Note that this only works for unauthenticated attackers in earlier versions of the Nuuo firmware (before v1.7.6), otherwise you need an administrative user password. This exploit has been tested on several versions of the NVRmini 2 and the ReadyNAS Surveillance. It probably also works on the NVRsolo and other Nuuo devices, but it has not been tested in those devices.
