Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionNVD
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.
AnalysisAI
The swctrl service is used to detect and remotely manage PLANET Technology devices. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.9), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-261. 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. Affected products include: Planet Gs-4210-24P2S Firmware, Planet Gs-4210-24Pl4C Firmware, Planet Igs-5225-4Up1T2S Firmware.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Apply vendor patches when available. Implement network segmentation and monitoring as interim mitigations.
