Summary

Red Lion Controls 700 Series firmware before 3.11.0 and bootloader before 2.0.6.1 are affected. The switch can boot from factory settings without authentication, which is an alternate path that bypasses access control (CWE-288). A user with physical access and low privileges can use the default administrative credentials to gain administrative access and save configuration changes that persist after a normal boot.

Description from the CNA

A malicious user with physical access to the device can boot the switch from factory settings without authentication, use the default administrative credentials to obtain administrative access, and save changes to the configuration file so that they persist next time the switch boots normally.
