CVE-2024-5951

Service interruption via unauthenticated factory-reset handler

Published Jun 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Missing authentication in the Deep Sea Electronics DSE855 1.1.0 web UI allows remote attackers to factory-reset the device. The factory-reset endpoint handler omits the session lookup used by other handlers and invokes reset functionality without validating a session identifier. An unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network can restore factory settings and interrupt monitoring and remote control of the connected controller.
