Traffic interception via weak web-management encryption
Published Oct 19, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Inadequate encryption in InHand Networks InRouter615-S 2.3.0.r4724 and 2.3.0.r4870 allows attackers to intercept management traffic. The web management interface protects communications with encryption that CISA and the vendor identify as inadequate, but no algorithm or protocol defect is publicly described. Exploitation requires access to the communication path and user interaction, enabling sensitive-data disclosure or session hijacking without a reported availability impact.
