CVE-2005-0809

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The vulnerability in NotifyLink allows a remote attacker to obtain AES keys via a direct request to /hwp/get.asp. Additionally, the weak encryption scheme (fixed byte reordering) enables key recovery through brute force.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can intercept AES keys used for encrypting communication, leading to a breach of data confidentiality in the NotifyLink system.

Recommendation

Immediately update NotifyLink to a version that fixes the vulnerability and implement stronger key protection mechanisms, such as encryption with a random initialization vector.

Original NVD description (English source)

NotifyLink, when configured for client key retrieval, allows remote attackers to obtain AES keys via a direct request to /hwp/get.asp, then uses a weak encryption scheme (fixed byte reordering) to protect the key, which allows remote attackers to obtain the key via a brute force attack.
