Vulnerability details

A vulnerability has been identified in SICAM T (All versions < V3.0). Affected devices use a limited range for challenges that are sent during the unencrypted challenge-response communication. An unauthenticated attacker could capture a valid challenge-response pair generated by a…

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-294

Allows detection of capture-replay attacks by showing the replayed logon's timestamp as the last logon.

addresses: CWE-294

Protects against replay of captured session tokens or credentials by requiring authenticated, fresh session channels.

addresses: CWE-294

Wireless link protections commonly incorporate replay protection, reducing the exploitability of capture-replay weaknesses.

addresses: CWE-294

Accurate synchronized time enables tight timestamp windows that directly limit capture-replay windows in authentication protocols.
