Information Disclosure and Man-in-the-Middle Vulnerability in Moxa AWK-3121 Devices

CVE-2018-10694

What is CVE-2018-10694?

The Moxa AWK-3121 1.14 devices have a significant security issue due to their use of an open Wi-Fi connection without any encryption by default. This configuration allows an attacker to intercept unencrypted traffic between the user's computer and the device. As a result, sensitive data such as credentials transmitted over HTTP and TELNET can be easily captured. Additionally, the lack of proper security can enable an attacker to perform Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks, leading to further exploitation, including the potential to inject malicious content onto the user's machine.
