Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-617.
Summary
Red Lion Controls 700 Series switches run firmware before Firmware Versions 3.11.0 and bootloader before Bootloader Versions 2.0.6.1. A reachable assertion (CWE-617) lets a request to a certain URL on the web server reboot the switch. A remote attacker with low privileges can repeat the request to keep the switch rebooting, which causes denial of service.

Description from the CNA
Navigating to a certain URL on the switch’s web server causes the switch to reboot. This can be automated using a tool like curl to create DoS conditions where the switch constantly reboots.
