CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The lockout-recovery feature in the Security Configurator component in ICONICS GENESIS32 9.22 and earlier and BizViz 9.22 and earlier uses an improper encryption algorithm for generation of an authentication code, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and obtain administrative access by predicting a challenge response.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-3018 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
