CVE-2024-31415

Configuration disclosure and tampering via exposed encryption keys

Published Sep 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 26, 2025

Cleartext key storage in Eaton Foreseer before 7.8.500 allows local users to decrypt and alter external-server configurations. Foreseer keeps the keys that protect network- and user-management server settings insecurely on the host instead of separating them from the encrypted configuration. High-privilege access to the Windows host is required; exposure grants confidentiality and integrity access to server settings and can interrupt configured integrations.
