Vulnerability in SMA Solar Technology Products Exposes Plaintext Passwords

CVE-2017-9854

What is CVE-2017-9854?

An issue in SMA Solar Technology products can lead to the exposure of plaintext passwords. When users enter their passwords into Sunny Explorer, specific packets are transmitted over localhost. Malicious actors with access to the same network can potentially sniff these packets during the installation process, compromising device security. The affected products include Sunny Boy TLST-21, TL-21, Sunny Tripower TL-10, and TL-30. While the likelihood of exploitation is considered low, it is essential for users to remain vigilant and implement robust security measures.
