CVE-2023-37215

Local service interruption via hard-coded credentials

Published Jul 30, 2023 · Updated Oct 15, 2024

Hard-coded credentials in JBL BAR 5.1 Surround firmware before 23.23.51.00 allow local users to cause a device service interruption. The Israel National Cyber Directorate has not disclosed where the credentials are embedded, what interface accepts them, or how their use interrupts the device. Local access requires no privileges or user interaction, but the published assessment reports availability impact only and does not establish remote reachability.
