Last modified
CVE-2024-8455 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. The swctrl service is used to detect and remotely manage PLANET Technology devices. For certain switch models, the authentication tokens used during communication with this service are encoded user passwords. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
The swctrl service is used to detect and remotely manage PLANET Technology devices. For certain switch models, the authentication tokens used during communication with this service are encoded user passwords. Due to insufficient strength, unauthorized remote attackers who intercept the packets can directly crack them to obtain plaintext passwords.
