CVE-2023-20038
A vulnerability in the monitoring application of Cisco Industrial Network Director could allow an authenticated, local attacker to access a static secret key used to store both local data and credentials for accessing remote systems.
This vulnerability is due to a static key value stored in the application used to encrypt application data and remote credentials. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by gaining local access to the server Cisco Industrial Network Director is installed on. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to decrypt data allowing the attacker to access remote systems monitored by Cisco Industrial Network Director.

Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a un valor de clave estática almacenado en la aplicación que se utiliza para cifrar los datos de la aplicación y las credenciales remotas. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad obteniendo acceso local al servidor en el que está instalado Cisco Industrial Network Director. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante descifrar datos, lo que le permitiría acceder a sistemas remotos monitoreados por Cisco Industrial Network Director."
