Password disclosure via plaintext authentication logging
Published Jun 14, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Sensitive-data logging in Toshiba Tec e-STUDIO MFPs allows local users to read plaintext passwords from appliance log files. TopAccess login handling writes passwords to boserverEvent and HTTP logs, while password changes write new values to the boserverEvent log. Exploitation requires access to the embedded Linux environment and reveals passwords captured during login or password changes.
