Details
Summary
CVE-2023-37857 is a vulnerability that affects the PHOENIX CONTACTs WP 6xxx series web panels in versions prior to 4.0.10. An authenticated, remote attacker with admin privileges can exploit this vulnerability to read hardcoded cryptographic keys, which enables them to create valid session cookies. However, these session cookies created by the attacker are not enough to obtain a valid session on the device. The potential danger of this vulnerability lies in the fact that it could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the affected device and potentially compromise its integrity and confidentiality. To remediate this vulnerability, organizations should update their PHOENIX CONTACT WP web panels to version 4.0.10 or later.
