Affected: Siemens QMS Automotive

A vulnerability has been identified in QMS Automotive (All versions < V12.39), QMS Automotive (All versions < V12.39). User credentials are stored in plaintext in the database without any hashing mechanism. This could allow an attacker to gain access to credentials and impersonate other users.

User credentials are stored in plaintext in the database without any hashing mechanism. This could allow an attacker to gain access to credentials and impersonate other users. User credentials are found in memory as plaintext. An attacker could perform a memory dump, and get access to credentials, and use it for impersonation. The affected application returns inconsistent error messages in response to invalid user credentials during login session. This allows an attacker to enumerate usernames, and identify valid usernames. The affected application server responds with sensitive information about the server. This could allow an attacker to directly access the database. The QMS.Mobile module of the affected application uses weak outdated application signing mechanism. This could allow an attacker to tamper the application code. The QMS.Mobile module of the affected application stores sensitive application data in an external insecure storage. This could allow an attacker to alter content, leading to arbitrary code execution or denial-of-service condition. The affected application lacks security control to prevent unencrypted communication without HTTPS. An attacker who managed to gain machine-in-the-middle position could manipulate, or steal confidential information. The QMS.Mobile module of the affected application lacks sufficient authorization checks. This could allow an attacker to access confidential information, perform administrative functions, or lead to a denial-of-s…
