QMS Automotive <12.39 Unencrypted HTTPS Traffic MITM Vulnerability
CVE-2023-40729 Published on September 12, 2023
A vulnerability has been identified in QMS Automotive (All versions < V12.39). The affected application lacks security control to prevent unencrypted communication without HTTPS. An attacker who managed to gain machine-in-the-middle position could manipulate, or steal confidential information.
Weakness Type
Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
The software transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors. Many communication channels can be "sniffed" by attackers during data transmission. For example, network traffic can often be sniffed by any attacker who has access to a network interface. This significantly lowers the difficulty of exploitation by attackers.
