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-2019-6524 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ICS-CERT Moxa IKS, EDS. 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-2019-6524/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6524/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-6524","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6524/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-6524","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xm5x-38fw-r6fq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Industrial Ethernet Switch","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can brute-force passwords due to missing lockout mechanisms, potentially gaining unauthorized access to Moxa industrial network devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"eds-405a_firmware","vendor":"moxa"},{"product":"eds-408a_firmware","vendor":"moxa"},{"product":"eds-510a_firmware","vendor":"moxa"},{"product":"iks-g6824a_firmware","vendor":"moxa"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"Moxa IKS and EDS do not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts, which may allow an attacker to discover passwords via brute force attack.","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":"Auth bypass in Moxa IKS, EDS","id":"CVE-2019-6524","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Wonderware System Platform","id":"CVE-2019-6525"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-6523"},"products":["Moxa IKS, EDS"],"published":"2019-03-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in IKS, EDS","id":"CVE-2019-6526","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Moxa IKS, EDS","id":"CVE-2019-6557","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Weak cryptography in Moxa IKS, EDS","id":"CVE-2019-6563","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-05"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in Moxa IKS, EDS","id":"CVE-2019-6522","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Moxa IKS, EDS","id":"CVE-2019-6561","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-05"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6464","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-09-11"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["ICS-CERT"]},"summary":"Attackers can brute-force passwords due to missing lockout mechanisms, potentially gaining unauthorized access to Moxa industrial network devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6524/"}
