What is CVE-2023-53739?

The Tinycontrol LAN Controller v3 LK3 version 1.58a is prone to an unauthenticated file access vulnerability that allows remote attackers to exploit the system for unauthorized retrieval of sensitive configuration backups. By leveraging this flaw, attackers can download the 'lk3_settings.bin' file, which contains base64-encoded user and admin credentials, granting them access to critical system settings without needing authentication. This poses a significant risk, as the exposure of sensitive information could lead to unauthorized access and control over the affected systems.
