CVSS v3.1
Official Description
EMC RSA Security SiteKey allows remote attackers to display the correct image via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack in which an attacker-controlled server proxies authentication data to and from a legitimate SiteKey server. NOTE: the vendor disputes the severity of the issue, stating that it is easier to monitor this attack than "attacks against static web pages."
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-7199 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
