CVE-2017-20235Network attack vector

Unauthenticated access to administrative functions

Published Apr 3, 2026 · Updated Apr 3, 2026

Authentication bypass in ProSoft Technology ICX35-HWC before 1.3 allows remote attackers to access administrative functions. Published records identify the web user interface as the affected locus but do not disclose the request, credential check, or other operation that fails to enforce authentication. No credentials or user interaction are required, and exploitation grants full access to device configuration and settings without a reported direct availability impact.
