Hisilicon HiIpcam V100R003 contains a directory traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive configuration files by exploiting directory listing in the cgi-bin directory. Attackers can request the getadslattr.cgi endpoint to retrieve ADSL credentials and network configuration parameters including usernames, passwords, and DNS settings.

MiniDVBLinux 5.4 contains an unauthenticated configuration download vulnerability that allows remote attackers to access sensitive system configuration files through a direct object reference. Attackers can exploit the backup download endpoint by sending a GET request with 'action=getconfig' to retrieve a complete system configuration archive containing sensitive credentials.

Tinycontrol LAN Controller v3 LK3 version 1.58a contains an unauthenticated vulnerability that allows remote attackers to download configuration backup files containing sensitive credentials. Attackers can retrieve the lk3_settings.bin file and extract base64-encoded user and admin passwords without authentication.

A vulnerability in specific versions of Zyxel NBG6818, NBG7815, WSQ20, WSQ50, WSQ60, and WSR30 firmware with pre-configured password management could allow an attacker to obtain root access of the device, if the local attacker dismantles the device and uses a USB-to-UART cable to connect the device, or if the remote assistance feature had been enabled by an authenticated user.

MikroTik WinBox 3.22 and below stores the user's cleartext password in the settings.cfg.viw configuration file when the Keep Password field is set and no Master Password is set. Keep Password is set by default and, by default Master Password is not set. An attacker with access to the configuration file can extract a username and password to gain access to the router.

eslint-ban-moment is an Eslint plugin for final assignment in VIHU. In 3.0.0 and earlier, a sensitive Supabase URI is exposed in .env. A valid Supabase URI with embedded username and password will allow an attacker complete unauthorized access and control over database and user data. This could lead to data exfiltration, modification or deletion.

The Docker image from acme.sh before 40b6db6 is based on a .github/workflows/dockerhub.yml file that lacks "persist-credentials: false" for actions/checkout.

The installation component in Hospira MedNet before 6.1 places cleartext credentials in configuration files, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a file.

IBM Sterling Partner Engagement Manager 6.1.0, 6.2.0, 6.2.2 JWT secret is stored in public Helm Charts and is not stored as a Kubernetes secret.

IBM QRadar Suite Software 1.10.12.0 through 1.11.2.0 and IBM Cloud Pak for Security 1.10.0.0 through 1.10.11.0 could allow an unauthenticated user in the environment to obtain highly sensitive information in configuration files.

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in TOTOLINK N200RE 9.3.5u.6255_B20211224. Affected is an unknown function of the file /squashfs-root/etc_ro/custom.conf of the component Telnet Service. The manipulation leads to password in configuration file. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-229374 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

A vulnerability was determined in TaleLin Lin-CMS up to 0.6.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /tests/config.py of the component Tests Folder. This manipulation of the argument username/password causes password in configuration file. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. It is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

EzGED3 3.5.0 stores user passwords using an insecure hashing scheme: md5(md5(password)). This hashing method is cryptographically weak and allows attackers to perform efficient offline brute-force attacks if password hashes are disclosed. The lack of salting and use of a fast, outdated algorithm makes it feasible to recover plaintext credentials using precomputed tables or GPU-based cracking tools. The vendor states that the issue is fixed in 3.5.72.27183.

IBM QRadar SIEM 7.5 through 7.5.0 UP14 stores user credentials in configuration files in source control which can be read by an authenticated user.
