CVE-2023-5719

Summary

CVE-2023-5719 is a vulnerability affecting the Crimson 3.2 configuration tool used in Windows environments. This issue allows users with administrative access to set new passwords containing the percent (%) character, which can result in invalid values and potential string truncation if a NUL character is encountered. If the simplified password is not detected by the administrator, the device may remain in a vulnerable state due to more easily compromised credentials. However, passwords entered via the Crimson system web server are not impacted by this vulnerability.
