CVE-2008-0229

HIGHCVSS v2 · 10.010.0—
EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This CVE was only ever scored under CVSS v2.0. NVD CVSS v2.0 base 10.0 — v2 rates that HIGH (v2 bands: LOW 0.0–3.9 / MEDIUM 4.0–6.9 / HIGH 7.0–10.0; v2 has no CRITICAL band). Vector AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C. CVSS v2 is an older, coarser metric than v3.1/v4.0 (no Scope, no User Interaction, no Attack Requirements), so it is not directly comparable to a v3 or v4 score. NVD has never re-scored this record under v3. EPSS predicts 2.6% exploitation probability in the next 30 days, which is reflected in EG Risk but does not lift the v2 base. Confidence: LOW.

No fix has been recorded since the CVE record was published in 2008 — isolate the affected system (restrict network access to it, for example with a firewall, or keep it off the internet) or retire the product.

The telnet service in LevelOne WBR-3460 4-Port ADSL 2/2+ Wireless Modem Router with firmware 1.00.11 and 1.00.12 does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers on the local or wireless network to obtain administrative access.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).

Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Data Freshness Timeline

(refreshed 7× in last 7d / 15× in last 30d)

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

Showing the most recent 79 of 105 refreshes on record for this CVE.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 21 repeat rows among the latest 100 are merged into the row they repeat. The 26 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.

Frequently asked(4)

What is CVE-2008-0229?
CVE-2008-0229 is a high-severity vulnerability; its CVE record was published on January 10, 2008. The telnet service in LevelOne WBR-3460 4-Port ADSL 2/2+ Wireless Modem Router with firmware 1.00.11 and 1.00.12 does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers on the local or wireless network to obtain administrative access.
When was CVE-2008-0229 made public?
CVE-2008-0229 was made public on January 8, 2008: that is the date its CVE record's CNA, MITRE Corporation, gives for when the vulnerability was made public. The CVE record itself was published on January 10, 2008. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of April 23, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2008-0229 actively exploited?
CVE-2008-0229 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 2.6% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (84th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
How do I remediate CVE-2008-0229?
No fix for CVE-2008-0229 has been recorded since its CVE record was published in 2008, and EchelonGraph holds no vendor advisory for it. Isolate the affected system (restrict network access to it, for example with a firewall, or keep it off the internet) or retire the product.
