CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Moxa OnCell G3100V2 devices before 2.8 and G3111, G3151, G3211, and G3251 devices before 1.7 use cleartext password storage, which makes it easier for local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a configuration file.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2016-5812 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
