CVE-2023-31152Network attack vector

Authentication bypass via undisclosed alternate path

Published May 10, 2023 · Updated Jan 24, 2025

Authentication bypass in the SEL RTAC web management interface allows remote authenticated users to cross an access-control boundary. The SEL record identifies an alternate path or channel in the interface but does not disclose the request, endpoint, or authentication check that is bypassed. Exploitation requires high privileges and user interaction; the published record does not identify the exposed data or permitted actions.
