4) Missing Authentication for Critical Function

EUVDB-ID: #VU23599

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18339

CWE-ID: CWE-306 - Missing Authentication for Critical Function

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the HTTP service (default port 5401/tcp) contains an authentication bypass vulnerability. A remote attacker can read the SiNVR users database, including the passwords of all users in obfuscated cleartext.

Mitigation

Cybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
