It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-29447 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PTC Kepware KEPServerEX. 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-2023-29447/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29447/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-29447","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29447/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-29447","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q2hf-f8g9-p54v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Industrial connectivity server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can capture user credentials due to insufficient protection in basic authentication, leading to potential account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Dragos","cpe":[{"product":"kepware_kepserverex","vendor":"ptc"},{"product":"thingworx_industrial_connectivity","vendor":"ptc"},{"product":"thingworx_kepware_server","vendor":"ptc"}],"cvss":{"score":5.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"An insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in KEPServerEX could allow an adversary to capture user credentials as the web server uses basic authentication.","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":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials in PTC's Kepware KEPServerEX","id":"CVE-2023-29447","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Limited control of resource utilization in JS preprocessing","id":"CVE-2023-29449"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Input Validation in PTC's Kepware KEPServerEX","id":"CVE-2023-29446"},"products":["Kepware KEPServerEX","ThingWorx Industrial Connectivity","ThingWorx Kepware Server"],"published":"2024-01-10","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element in PTC's Kepware KEPServerEX","id":"CVE-2023-29445","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-10"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element in PTC's Kepware KEPServerEX","id":"CVE-2023-29444","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-10"},{"cvss_score":4.7,"headline":"Improper Input Validation in PTC's Kepware KEPServerEX","id":"CVE-2023-29446","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-10"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-17","vendors":["PTC"]},"summary":"Attackers can capture user credentials due to insufficient protection in basic authentication, leading to potential account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29447/"}
