CVE-2023-6595Network attack vector

Credential information disclosure via unauthenticated API endpoint

Published Dec 14, 2023 · Updated Oct 16, 2024

Missing authentication in WhatsUp Gold before 2023.1 allows remote attackers to enumerate stored ancillary credential information. The affected API endpoint performs credential-information enumeration without enforcing authentication, but Progress has not published its route or handler. Network reachability to the web interface is sufficient; exposure is limited to reading ancillary credential information, with no reported data modification or service interruption.
