Title: EdiMax AP Hidden Password Check

Summary: NOSUMMARY

Description: Description:

The remote EdiMax Access Point ships with a default account
('guest'/'1234') which has backup privileges on the remote configuration
file.

If the guest user does a backup of the remote config file, he will be able
to obtain the password for the administrator account, since it's saved in
cleartext in the config.

disable the webserver or filter the traffic to this access point
webserver via an upstream firewall.
