CVE-2021-40066Network attack vector

Authenticated data disclosure via API authorization bypass

Published Sep 16, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Incorrect access control in NetMotion Mobility 10.70 through 12.12 allows remote authenticated users to read Mobility API data over the network. The read-only API validates credentials but fails to enforce access-control-group membership when authorizing read requests. Network reachability and valid credentials are required; the flaw exposes API-readable data but does not permit modification or service interruption.
