AI Analysis

Impact

Sangoma Switchvox software versions prior to 8.4 generate backup archives that store SIP authentication credentials in plain text. This flaw allows anyone with access to the backup file to read the authentication tokens, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the VoIP system.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Sangoma Switchvox, all releases earlier than version 8.4. Customers using those versions should verify backup files for cleartext credentials.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.2 indicates low severity; however, the exposure of authentication credentials can enable lateral movement and unauthorized control of calls. No EPSS data and the vulnerability is not listed in the KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local or network access to the device's backup storage, where an attacker who can read or obtain the backup file can exploit the flaw.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Switchvox to version 8.4 or newer, which removes cleartext credentials from backup files.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, locate and delete any existing backup archives that contain cleartext SIP credentials.
  • Restrict filesystem permissions on backup directories so that only privileged administrators can access them.
