Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-287.
Summary
Stormshield Network Security from 4.3.0 through 4.3.44, from 4.8.0 through 4.8.19, from 5.0.0 through 5.0.9, and from 5.1.0 through 5.1.3 is affected. A logic error in the signature verification routine causes the product to accept unauthenticated update and license files (CWE-287). An attacker with local access and no privileges can exploit this with user interaction, and the impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability is high.
