CVE-2023-23449

CVSS 5.3 MEDIUMEPSS 0.8%CWE-204
In short

A flaw in SICK air flow sensors allows attackers to discover valid usernames by observing how the device responds differently to authentication attempts. This could help them prepare for further attacks on the system.

Technical detail

Observable response discrepancy in the REST interface authentication mechanism enables username enumeration through timing or response analysis. An unauthenticated remote attacker can infer valid usernames by comparing challenge-response patterns, reducing the search space for credential brute-force attacks.
