DescriptionCVE.org

Danelec MacGregor Voyage Data Recorder passwords are stored with a hashing method which limits password length and is susceptible to brute force attacks.

AnalysisAI

Weak password storage in the Danelec MacGregor VDR G4E exposes credentials to offline brute-force attack: the hashing algorithm in use both caps maximum password length and provides insufficient computational cost, meaning recovered hashes can be cracked with modest effort. An adjacent-network attacker holding low-privilege access who obtains the stored hashes can recover plaintext credentials and authenticate with elevated privileges to this safety-critical maritime recording system. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Three concrete conditions are required per the CVSS vector AV:A/AC:H/PR:L: (1) The attacker must be on the same adjacent network segment as the VDR - internet-based remote attackers cannot directly exploit this without a prior foothold on the vessel network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.4 (Medium) score reflects meaningful constraints: attack vector is Adjacent (AV:A), requiring physical or logical presence on the same network segment as the VDR; attack complexity is High (AC:H), implying specific conditions for hash extraction; and low privileges are required (PR:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A crew member or technician with low-privilege access to the vessel's onboard LAN extracts the VDR G4E's stored password hashes - either through the device's management interface or via a network credential-capture technique on the adjacent segment. The attacker performs offline brute-force or dictionary attacks against the hashes; because the algorithm caps password length and lacks sufficient computational cost, the cracking completes in a tractable timeframe. …
Remediation No specific patched firmware version has been confirmed in the available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
