Credential disclosure via unauthenticated JSON metrics endpoint
Published Aug 3, 2023 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Credential exposure in GatesAir Flexiva FAX150 allows remote attackers to obtain LDAP and SMTP credentials through its web interface. The unauthenticated /json endpoint returns device metrics containing LDAP and clear-text SMTP credentials instead of withholding secrets from anonymous requests. No session cookie or privileges are required, and the disclosed credentials enable access to the configured directory and mail services.
