Password Exposure in Symantec FireWall/VPN Appliance Model 200

CVE-2004-0190

Summary

The Symantec FireWall/VPN Appliance Model 200 has a security vulnerability that records administrators' passwords in cleartext. This exacerbates security risks as such sensitive information may be cached on the administrator's local system or accessible via a proxy. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could easily capture these passwords, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the management interface. It is critical for administrators to be aware of this issue and implement necessary security measures to mitigate the risk of credential theft.
