An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-6297 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mikrotik Routeros. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6297/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6297/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6297","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6297/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6297","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8p5m-cg5p-7249"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MikroTik RouterOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"MikroTik RouterOS L2TP clients fail to enable IPsec after reboot, allowing attackers to intercept unencrypted traffic and steal credentials.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"routeros","vendor":"mikrotik"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-311","name":"Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data"}],"description":"The L2TP Client in MikroTik RouterOS versions 6.38.3 and 6.37.4 does not enable IPsec encryption after a reboot, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to view transmitted data unencrypted and gain access to networks on the L2TP server by monitoring the packets for the transmitted data and obtaining the L2TP secret.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6297","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mikrotik:routeros","products":["mikrotik:routeros"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6298"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in SHIELD TV","id":"CVE-2017-6296"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-02-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"MikroTik RouterOS Stack-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2018-7445","kev_date_added":"2022-09-08","published":"2018-03-19"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"MikroTik RouterOS Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command","id":"CVE-2026-86060","kev_date_added":"2026-09-10","published":"2026-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"MikroTik Router OS Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2018-14847","kev_date_added":"2021-12-01","published":"2018-08-02"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"MikroTik RouterOS Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2026-67277","kev_date_added":"2026-09-10","published":"2026-09-05"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Mikrotik RouterOS Improper Enforcement of Behavioral Workflow","id":"CVE-2026-67279","kev_date_added":"2026-09-25","published":"2026-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-20149","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-34960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-25"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"MikroTik RouterOS L2TP clients fail to enable IPsec after reboot, allowing attackers to intercept unencrypted traffic and steal credentials.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6297/"}
