CVE-2022-32519Network attack vector

Unauthorized instance access via recoverable stored passwords

Published Jan 30, 2023 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

Recoverable password storage in Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert before 7.9.0 allows remote attackers to access a DCE instance. Schneider Electric states that passwords are stored in a recoverable format but does not identify the credential store, recovery path, or network request that exposes them. The vendor assessment requires low privileges and user interaction; successful exploitation grants unauthorized DCE access with confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
