CVE-2020-25164

Administrative credential recovery via unsalted password hashes

Published Apr 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Unsalted password hashing in affected B. Braun communication devices allows local users to recover administrative-interface credentials. SpaceCom L81/U61 and earlier, Battery-Pack SP with WiFi L81/U61 and earlier, and Data module compactplus A10/A11 store administrative passwords as one-way hashes without unique salts. Local access to the stored hashes is required; recovered credentials grant access to the administrative interface.
