Description
A cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability exists
in certain Ebyte gateway products. The web management interface does not
adequately protect sensitive communications using transport-layer
encryption. An attacker with access to network traffic could intercept
authentication or session-related information transmitted between a user
and the affected device. Successful exploitation could result in
disclosure of sensitive information and unauthorized access to device
management functionality.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a cleartext transmission of sensitive information in the Ebyte NE2‑D11 web management interface. Authentication and session data are sent without transport‑layer encryption, allowing an adversary who can observe network traffic to capture credentials and other confidential information. The primary impact is the loss of confidentiality and the possibility of unauthorized device management. The weakness is classified as CWE‑319.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the Ebyte NE2‑D11 firmware. Version details are not specified, so all current and future releases of the NE2‑D11 should be considered vulnerable until a vendor patch is deployed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity issue. Exploitation requires only passive monitoring of network traffic to capture cleartext data; no active exploitation or administrative privileges are needed. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that while the technical risk is high, real‑world exploitation is at least moderate but unconfirmed. Because no patch has been released, mitigations must rely on network segmentation or access restrictions until an official fix is available.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Reach out to Ebyte to obtain the current patch status and any interim security advisories
  • Apply the vendor‑issued firmware patch for the Ebyte NE2‑D11 as soon as it becomes available
  • Restrict management interface access to a secure internal network or VPN, or block external access using firewall rules
