CVE-2022-30626Network attack vector

Wi-Fi credential disclosure via cleartext API response

Published Jul 18, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Cleartext credential exposure in CHC Navigation P5E-Net GNSS firmware 4.1 and 4.2 allows remote attackers to read the Wi-Fi password. The wifi_ap_pata_get.cmd endpoint returns the configured access-point name and password without masking or encrypting the credential. The receiver must be reachable over HTTP; disclosure grants the Wi-Fi credential but no direct ability to alter receiver settings or interrupt service.
