CVE-2023-31161Network attack vector

Authenticated internal resource access via unvalidated input

Published May 10, 2023 · Updated Jan 24, 2025

Improper input validation in affected SEL RTAC web interfaces allows remote authenticated users to access internal resources. SEL identifies the web management interface and CWE-20 but does not disclose the request field, validator, or internal resource operation. Exploitation requires high-privilege authentication and user interaction, with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects.
