Technical details
The GNCC GP5 (v7.1.76) contains a flaw in its factory reset implementation where sensitive cryptographic material is not purged from the JFFS2 configuration partition. An attacker with physical access to the device can extract the flash memory or access the file system to recover these persistent secrets. This vulnerability stems from incomplete data sanitization during the reset routine. Successful exploitation allows for the recovery of sensitive user data or credentials that were intended to be deleted. No patch is currently specified in the advisory.
