CVE-2024-6785 is a medium-severity Cleartext Storage in a File or on Disk (CWE-313) vulnerability in Moxa Mxview One. Its CVSS base score is 6.8 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Credentials In Files (T1552.001); ranked at the 2th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SC-28 (Protection of Information at Rest) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
The configuration file stores credentials in cleartext. An attacker with local access rights can read or modify the configuration file, potentially resulting in the service being abused due to sensitive information exposure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SC-28 requires cryptographic or equivalent protection of sensitive information at rest, directly eliminating cleartext file/disk storage.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Encryption of data-at-rest directly prevents cleartext storage while the control also addresses integrity and availability.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Cryptography control directly mandates encryption of sensitive data at rest.
Classification identifies sensitive data that must not be stored in cleartext.
Transfer policies can require encryption, indirectly reducing cleartext storage risk.
Requiring non-standard deletion or physical destruction of media ensures that sensitive information is not left in cleartext on discarded or repurposed equipment.
Secure deletion of data before device transfer prevents residual sensitive information from remaining in cleartext on storage media that leave organizational control.
Deletion policies help remove sensitive cleartext files when no longer needed.
