CVE-2025-41708

7.4 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers on the same network to intercept sensitive data transmitted to the web interface due to HTTP being used instead of HTTPS by default. Any system with the affected software in its default configuration is vulnerable to data interception.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Unknown - Product information not provided in CVE description
Versions: Unknown - Version information not provided in CVE description
Operating Systems: Unknown - OS information not provided
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Vulnerability exists in default configuration where HTTP is used instead of HTTPS for web interface communication.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete compromise of all sensitive data transmitted to the web interface, including credentials, configuration details, and operational data.

🟠

Likely Case

Interception of session cookies, authentication tokens, and configuration data leading to potential unauthorized access.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited to no impact if HTTPS is properly configured and enforced.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Internet-facing systems would expose all web interface traffic to interception by any internet-based attacker.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers or compromised internal systems could intercept sensitive data transmitted within the network.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires network access to intercept traffic, which can be achieved through ARP spoofing, rogue access points, or compromised network devices.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://certvde.com/de/advisories/VDE-2025-084

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Consult vendor advisory for specific patching instructions
2. Apply configuration changes to enable HTTPS
3. Disable HTTP access or redirect HTTP to HTTPS
4. Ensure proper certificate configuration

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Enable HTTPS and Disable HTTP

all

Configure the web interface to use HTTPS exclusively and disable HTTP access

# Configuration specific to product - consult vendor documentation

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate affected systems to prevent unauthorized network access

# Use firewall rules to restrict access to trusted networks only

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network-level encryption using VPN or TLS proxy
  • Restrict network access to only trusted, authenticated users and systems

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if web interface is accessible via HTTP (non-encrypted) protocol. Use browser or curl to access http://[target]:[port]

Check Version:

# Unknown - consult vendor documentation for version checking

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify HTTPS is enabled and HTTP redirects to HTTPS or is disabled. Test with curl -I https://[target]:[port] and ensure HTTP requests fail or redirect.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • HTTP traffic to web interface port
  • Failed HTTPS connection attempts
  • Mixed content warnings

Network Indicators:

  • Unencrypted HTTP traffic to web interface port
  • Lack of TLS/SSL handshake for web interface connections

SIEM Query:

source_port=80 OR source_port=8080 AND dest_ip=[web_interface_ip] AND protocol=HTTP
