The authentication mechanism in PowerShield SNMP Web Pro 1.1 contains a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated users to directly access Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts without proper identification or authorization. This vulnerability arises from a lack of proper cookie verification and affects all instances of SNMP Web Pro 1.1 without HTTP Digest authentication enabled, regardless of the password used for the web interface.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

PowerShield SNMP Web Pro 1.1 can allow people who are not logged in to reach CGI web scripts when HTTP Digest authentication is not enabled. For an internet-reachable management interface, this could bypass the intended password gate. The sources do not provide a CVSS score, vendor patch status, or confirmed exploitation.

Executive priority

Treat internet-facing instances as urgent because the reported issue bypasses web authentication controls. Prioritize finding exposed SNMP Web Pro 1.1 systems, enabling stronger authentication, and limiting network reachability while checking for vendor remediation.

Technical view

The CVE describes an authentication weakness in SNMP Web Pro 1.1 caused by insufficient cookie verification. Instances without HTTP Digest authentication enabled may allow direct unauthenticated access to CGI scripts, independent of the configured web-interface password. The public data does not specify affected vendors, CPEs, CWE mapping, fixed versions, or exploit-in-the-wild evidence.

Likely exposure

Exposure appears limited to PowerShield SNMP Web Pro 1.1 instances where HTTP Digest authentication is not enabled. Risk is highest for web interfaces reachable from the internet or broad internal networks. The source bundle does not identify other products or versions.

Exploitation context

The source states unauthenticated direct CGI access is possible, but does not cite active exploitation. The CVE is not listed as CISA KEV in the provided bundle. Public reference availability may help defenders understand the issue, but exploitation status remains unconfirmed here.

Researcher notes

Evidence is sparse: the CVE record describes the authentication bypass mechanism and condition, but lacks CVSS, CWE, CPE, patch, and exploitation details. Do not broaden affected scope beyond SNMP Web Pro 1.1 without additional vendor evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Identify any PowerShield SNMP Web Pro 1.1 deployments.
  • Enable HTTP Digest authentication where the product supports it.
  • Restrict web interface access to trusted management networks.
  • Check vendor guidance for patches or supported remediation.
  • Remove or replace unsupported exposed instances.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory internet-facing and internal SNMP Web Pro interfaces.
  • Verify whether HTTP Digest authentication is enabled.
  • Review access logs for unauthenticated CGI script requests.
  • Confirm the web password alone is not the only control.
  • Document exposed instances and compensating controls.
