VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION

Un-/Collapse All

This chapter describes all vulnerabilities (CVE-IDs) addressed in this security advisory. Wherever applicable, it also documents the product-specific impact of the individual vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability CVE-2024-41681

The web server of affected products is configured to support weak ciphers by default. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker in an on-path position to to read and modify any data passed over the connection between legitimate clients and the affected device.

CWE	CWE-307: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts

Vulnerability CVE-2024-41683

Affected products do not properly enforce a strong user password policy. This could facilitate a brute force attack against legitimate user passwords.

CVSS v3.1 Base Score	5.3
CVSS v3.1 Vector	CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C
