Cloud credential disclosure via cleartext management traffic
Published Sep 20, 2023 · Updated Sep 25, 2024
Cleartext transmission in CloudExplorer Lite 1.3.1 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to read cloud account credentials from traffic. The cloud account management workflow sends added cloud account information, including login key material, in plaintext that packet capture exposes. Exploitation requires access to the communication path while an authorized operator adds or manages a cloud account; the exposed credentials enable access to that cloud account.
