Credential disclosure via unsanitized browser login storage

Published Jun 12, 2023 · Updated Jan 6, 2025

Cleartext credential storage in the Atlas Copco Power Focus 6000 web server allows local users to obtain controller login credentials. The web interface permits an authenticated user's browser to retain unsanitized login information, leaving controller credentials recoverable from that computer. Exploitation requires access to the user's computer and exposes credentials that enable takeover of the user's active controller session.
