CVE-2024-23492

Credential disclosure via weak transmission encoding

Published Mar 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Weak credential encoding in Commend WS203VICM 1.7 and earlier allows adjacent-network attackers to recover transmitted credentials. The credential-transmission path encodes secret values with a scheme that does not preserve their confidentiality. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access and user interaction, and the published impact is limited to credential disclosure.
