CVE-2025-1710
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-1710 is an authentication brute-force vulnerability in maxView Storage Manager that allows attackers to guess credentials through repeated login attempts. This affects organizations using vulnerable versions of the software for storage management. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to storage management systems.
💻 Affected Systems
- maxView Storage Manager
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of storage management system leading to data manipulation, configuration changes, or denial of service to storage infrastructure.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to storage management interface allowing configuration changes, performance monitoring access, and potential data exposure.
If Mitigated
Failed login attempts logged but no successful authentication achieved.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires only standard authentication interface access and automated tools.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not specified
Vendor Advisory: https://sick.com/psirt
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Monitor vendor advisory for patch release. 2. Apply patch when available. 3. Verify authentication rate limiting is functional.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network-based rate limiting
allImplement network-level rate limiting for authentication requests using firewall or load balancer
IP-based access restrictions
allRestrict access to maxView Storage Manager to trusted IP ranges only
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strong password policies and multi-factor authentication
- Monitor authentication logs for brute-force patterns and implement alerting
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test authentication interface with rapid consecutive failed login attempts from same source IPCheck Version:
Check maxView Storage Manager version in web interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify failed login attempts are blocked or delayed after configured threshold📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed authentication attempts from same IP address within short time frame
- Authentication logs showing pattern of credential guessing
Network Indicators:
- High volume of POST requests to authentication endpoints
- Traffic patterns showing repeated authentication attempts
