Mitigation Strategies

Immediate steps to mitigate this vulnerability include disabling or restricting FTP access to the affected devices, especially avoiding use of insecure FTP connections. Additionally, ensure that firmware updates are obtained from trusted sources and verify firmware integrity manually if automatic signature verification is not enforced. Consider replacing or patching the firmware to remove embedded credentials and enforce secure update mechanisms.
