CVE-2022-48193Network attack vector

Information disclosure via weak SSL cipher suites

Published Nov 6, 2023 · Updated Oct 28, 2024

Inadequate encryption in Softing smartLink SW-HT before 1.30 allows remote attackers to read protected SSL traffic. The SSL service enables cryptographically weak cipher suites, but Softing has not identified the suites or disclosed the configuration locus. Exploitation requires no account or user interaction but has high complexity; the documented consequence is confidentiality loss only.
