What is CVE-2024-1578?
CVE-2024-1578 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Rebranded by NT-ware (originally developed and provided by rf IDEAS) MiCard PLUS BLE, published on 16 Sep 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The MiCard PLUS Ci and MiCard PLUS BLE reader products developed by rf IDEAS and rebranded by NT-ware have a firmware fault that may result in characters randomly being dropped from some ID card reads, which would result in the wrong ID card number being assigned during ID card self-registration and might result in failed login attempts for end-users. Random characters being dropped from ID card numbers compromises the uniqueness of ID cards that can, therefore, result in a security issue if the users are using the ‘ID card self-registration’ function.
