CVE-2023-29064

Administrative credential disclosure via plaintext hardcoded secrets

Published Nov 28, 2023 · Updated Oct 11, 2024

Hard-coded credentials in BD FACSChorus 5.0 through 5.1 allow physically proximate attackers to obtain administrative tokens and passwords. The application stores these secrets in plaintext, but BD has not disclosed the specific file, database field, or executable resource containing them. Exploitation requires physical presence at the workstation and low-privilege access; the exposed credentials can affect data and service operation within that system.
