CVE-2025-2343 is a high-severity Use of Hard-coded Password (CWE-259) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.7 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Unsecured Credentials (T1552); ranked at the 28th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-5 (Authenticator Management) and SC-12 (Cryptographic Key Establishment and Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-2343 is a vulnerability classified as critical in IROAD Dash Cam X5 and Dash Cam X6 devices running firmware up to version 20250308. It affects an unknown functionality within the Device Pairing component, where hard-coded credentials (CWE-259 and CWE-798) enable manipulation. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity despite the score falling in the High range.
An attacker with access to the local network (adjacent access) can exploit this vulnerability, which requires high attack complexity and appears difficult to execute. No privileges or user interaction are needed. Successful exploitation grants high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, allowing bypassing of device pairing authentication through the hard-coded credentials.
Advisories from VulDB and a GitHub disclosure detail the finding, including specifics on bypassing device pairing for IROAD X-series devices. The vendor was contacted early regarding disclosure but provided no response, and no patches or mitigations are mentioned in the available references.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Authenticator management requires secure distribution and handling of credentials, structurally discouraging hard-coded values.
Cryptographic key management mandates proper establishment and handling instead of embedding keys in code.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly prohibit embedding credentials in source code or binaries.
PR.AA-01's credential/key-management processes can reduce the incentive to embed secrets but do not address or detect hard-coded values in source code, so the weakness remains fully possible.
PR.AA-02 addresses human identity proofing and per-person credential issuance at enrollment; it has no bearing on whether developers embed static credentials in software.
PR.DS-01 addresses encryption and integrity of stored data but never touches credential or key management practices, so it neither prevents hard-coded credentials nor removes any of their risk.

Education on secure configuration practices discourages technical staff from embedding or relying on hard-coded credentials in systems and applications.
Secure key-generation, distribution and storage procedures reduce the likelihood that hard-coded or default cryptographic keys will be introduced or left unprotected.
Explicit prohibition of hard-coded passwords and unauthenticated external services stops credentials from being embedded directly in source code.
Contractual requirements for secure coding practices and evidence of testing make it less likely that hard-coded credentials will be introduced or remain undetected in delivered code.
Requiring independent oversight and timely disabling of non-human identities makes it harder for hard-coded or long-lived credentials to remain exploitable.
Requiring users to change temporary or default passwords at first use stops the continued existence of hard-coded or guessable passwords that are shipped with the product.
