CVE-2023-41967

Configuration disclosure via uncleared transition data

Published Dec 18, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Information disclosure in Gallagher Controller 6000 affected releases allows physically proximate attackers to view configuration data. Firmware leaves sensitive configuration information uncleared after a debug or power-state transition, and diagnostic web pages expose the retained data. Exploitation requires physical access and knowledge of the default diagnostic password; the reported consequence is configuration disclosure only.
