CVE-2023-22584Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via unhashed database passwords

Published Jun 11, 2023 · Updated Jan 9, 2025

Cleartext credential storage in Danfoss AK-EM 100 before 2.2.0.12 allows remote attackers to read stored usernames and passwords. The device database retains login information in readable form because user passwords are saved without hashing. Access is network-reachable and unauthenticated, but public disclosures do not identify the database-access request or path; the bounded impact is disclosure of stored login credentials.
