Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
AC-14 directly prohibits permitting sensitive actions like obtaining the product login password without identification or authentication, addressing the core client-side authentication flaw.
SC-14 establishes protections for security-relevant information accessible publicly without authentication, mitigating remote unauthenticated retrieval of the login password.
AC-3 enforces approved authorizations for access to system resources, preventing unauthorized extraction of credentials due to inadequate client-side enforcement.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
The vulnerability is a client-side authentication bypass in a network-accessible product allowing remote unauthenticated retrieval of login credentials, directly enabling exploitation of a public-facing application for initial access and credential disclosure.
NVD Description
Use of client-side authentication issue exists in CHOCO TEI WATCHER mini (IB-MCT001) all versions. If this issue is exploited, a remote attacker may obtain the product login password without authentication.
Deeper analysisAI
