Vulnerability mechanics

Root cause

"Use of a password hash with insufficient computational effort allows attackers to decode admin credentials [CWE-916] [ref_id=1]."

Attack vector

An attacker can remotely decode admin credentials because the device uses a password hash with insufficient computational effort [CWE-916] [ref_id=1]. No authentication or prior access is required, and the attack complexity is low [ref_id=1]. The advisory notes that public exploits are available, lowering the barrier to exploitation [ref_id=1].

Affected code

The advisory does not specify particular functions or files. The vulnerability affects Franklin Fueling System TS-550 versions prior to 1.9.23.8960 [ref_id=1].

What the fix does

Franklin Fueling Systems released TS-550 version 1.9.23.8960 to fix the vulnerability [ref_id=1]. The advisory does not include a patch diff, so the specific code changes are unknown. The fix likely strengthens the password hashing mechanism to resist decoding attacks [ref_id=1].

Preconditions

  • configThe target device must be running TS-550 firmware prior to version 1.9.23.8960
  • networkThe attacker must have network access to the device (exploitable remotely)
