CVE-2022-30018Public exploit

Credential disclosure via Base64-encoded configuration passwords

Published May 19, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Insufficient credential protection in Mobotix Control Center 2.5.4.5 and earlier allows local users to recover stored passwords. The application writes camera, MxCC user, and network-share passwords to MxCC.ini as Base64 data that decodes directly to cleartext. Access to the Windows user's configuration file or a copied backup is required; recovered credentials expose cameras, recordings, shares, and MxCC administrator access.
