AI Analysis

Impact

A revoked client certificate can still authenticate to Stormshield Network Security’s captive‑admin portal, permitting an attacker who owns the revoked certificate to obtain full administrative control. The flaw, classified as CWE‑295, represents a failure to enforce certificate revocation checks during authentication.

Affected Systems

Stormshield Network Security firmware versions 4.3.0 through 4.3.41, 4.4.0 through 4.8.15, and 5.0.2 EA through 5.0.5 are affected. The issue resides in the captive‑admin portal component of these products.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 places the vulnerability in the medium severity range% indicates a very low likelihood of exploitation at present, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires an attacker to possess a revoked client certificate and to reach the captive‑admin portal, likely via network access to the device. The attack vector is inferred to be remote access to the portal’s administrative interface, with the attacker bypassing proper revocation validation.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

The following updates fix this vulnerability: * SNS 5.0.6 * SNS 4.8.16 * SNS 4.3.42


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the device to a firmware version that includes the revocation fix (SNS 5.0.6, SNS 4.8.16, or SNS 4.3.42).
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, enforce an additional authentication factor such as a password or one‑time password for captive‑admin portal access to mitigate the risk of unauthorized entry.
  • Restrict network access to the captive‑admin portal by configuring firewall rules to allow connections only from trusted IP ranges.
