CVE-2023-36608

Summary

CVE-2023-36608 is a vulnerability affecting TBox RTUs where passwords are stored using the outdated MD5 encryption algorithm. MD5 encryption, though once secure, is now considered insecure due to the discovery of collisions, meaning an attacker can gain unauthorized access by obtaining the hash of a legitimate password and using it to log in. This issue poses a significant risk to the security of the affected devices, and it is strongly recommended that they be updated with more secure encryption methods as soon as possible.
