Local Web Interface Vulnerability in Arc Could Lead to Sensitive Information Extraction and Arbitrary Code Execution

CVE-2023-5935

What is CVE-2023-5935?

A vulnerability exists in the Arc product from Nozomi Networks, where the local web interface provided for configuration lacks necessary authentication controls. This vulnerability allows a local attacker or malicious software to exploit the interface to access sensitive configuration data or modify Arc's settings. If exploited, this could lead to unauthorized changes and potentially enable arbitrary code execution, especially if a malicious update package is delivered. This issue emphasizes the importance of implementing secure authentication mechanisms to protect critical configuration interfaces from local threats.
