Impact

According to the updated description, the vulnerability resides in the web management interface of Tycon Systems TPDIN‑Monitor‑WEB2. An authenticated user can view a configuration page that displays system credentials in cleartext. These credentials can be used to compromise other devices on the local network, potentially enabling lateral movement and further damage to the network infrastructure. The likely attack vector is a legitimate authenticated session to the administrative dashboard, which could be obtained by an insider or a compromised account.

Affected Systems

Tycon Systems – TPDIN‑Monitor‑WEB2. No specific version data is provided; the vulnerability potentially affects all installations of this product.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate risk. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests exploitation is unlikely but still possible in a targeted environment. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Once the credentials are exposed, an attacker with network access could gain unauthorized privileges on other local systems.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Tycon Systems has released firmware 2.4.5, which resolves this vulnerability by removing cleartext credentials from the web interface response. Further inquiries can be directed to security@tyconsystems.com. Tycon Systems recommends changing any factory-default SNMP community strings and the Telnet password if they were left at shipped values. Leave Telnet disabled unless required. Tycon Systems recommends using a dedicated mail account for device alerts, rather than an account also used for other sensitive purposes, to limit exposure if credentials are compromised.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Tycon Systems firmware 2.4.5 update.
  • Change all factory‑default SNMP community strings to unique, strong values.
  • Reset the Telnet password to a strong value and disable Telnet unless necessary.
  • Use a dedicated email account for device alerts, rather than a shared account.
  • Restrict administrative dashboard access to a minimal set of trusted users and enforce strong password policies.
  • Disable or remove the configuration page that displays credentials if it is not needed.
  • Implement network segmentation or firewall rules to limit lateral movement using exposed credentials.
