Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
SecGate3600, a network firewall product developed by NSFOCUS, contains a sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in the /cgi-bin/authUser/authManageSet.cgi endpoint. The affected component fails to enforce authentication checks on POST requests to retrieve user data. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information, including user identifiers and configuration details, by sending crafted requests to the vulnerable endpoint. An affected version range is undefined. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2024-06-18 UTC.
