CVE-2024-25735
Published: 27 March 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-25735 is a critical-severity Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information (CWE-319) vulnerability in Wyrestorm Apollo Vx20 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).
Operationally, ranked in the top 0.4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-25735 is an information disclosure vulnerability affecting WyreStorm Apollo VX20 devices running firmware versions prior to 1.3.58. The flaw permits remote retrieval of cleartext passwords by issuing an unauthenticated GET request to the SoftAP /device/config endpoint and is tracked under CWE-319 for cleartext transmission of sensitive information, resulting in a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1.
Unauthenticated attackers with network access can exploit the issue without user interaction to obtain administrative credentials, enabling subsequent unauthorized access that impacts confidentiality and integrity.
Public references including Packet Storm and Full Disclosure list the affected devices and the version threshold for remediation, indicating that upgrading to firmware 1.3.58 or later addresses the exposure. The associated EPSS score has remained consistently high near 0.90 with only minor variation between its recorded peak and current value.
