6DescriptionCVE.org
Insufficiently protected credentials issue exists in Remote I/O Coupler Unit (Server Type) CPSN-MCB271-*. If this vulnerability is exploited, sensitive information may be restored from a backup file.
AnalysisAI
Credential disclosure in Contec's Remote I/O Coupler Unit (Server Type) CPSN-MCB271 enables an attacker who obtains a device backup file to recover sensitive credentials stored within it in an insufficiently protected form. The root cause (CWE-522) means credentials are not rendered unrecoverable within backup archives, so any party who accesses a backup file can extract usable authentication material. …
