Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
eibPort V3 versions prior to 3.9.1
Description:
The issue allows unauthenticated attackers to access the /webif/SecurityModule to validate the hard-coded unique 'eibPort String', which acts as the root SSH key passphrase. This can be part of an attack chain to gain SSH root access.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 3.9.1, update to version 3.9.1 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /webif/SecurityModule endpoint until a patch is available.
Avoid using the hard-coded
eibPort String as the root SSH key passphrase in the affected versions. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
