CWE-306Published: June 19, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
A remote unprivileged attacker can modify and access configuration settings on the EventCam App due to the absence of API authentication. The lack of authentication in the API allows the attacker to potentially compromise the functionality of the EventCam App.
Risk Analysis
The SICK EventCam App lacks API authentication, allowing unprivileged remote attackers to modify and access configuration settings. This critical flaw could lead to a complete compromise of the application's functionality.
The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity, but there are no known public exploits at this time.
Restrict network access to the EventCam API and apply any available security updates from SICK.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-31411 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
