OvrC Cloud: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
CVE-2023-31193 is a high-severity cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in OvrC Cloud from Snap One, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 7.3 as the first without the flaw, so updating OvrC Cloud to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update OvrC Cloud to 7.3 or a later version.
- Update Orvc to 7.3.0 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
Affected products and versions
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snap One | OvrC Cloud | before 7.3 | 7.3 |
| Snapone | Orvc | before 7.3.0 | 7.3.0 |

Official description
Snap One OvrC Pro versions prior to 7.3 use HTTP connections when downloading a program from their servers. Because they do not use HTTPS, OvrC Pro devices are susceptible to exploitation.

The underlying weakness: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Before transmitting, encrypt the data using reliable, confidentiality-protecting cryptographic protocols.
- When using web applications with SSL, use SSL for the entire session from login to logout, not just for the initial login page.
- When designing hardware platforms, ensure that approved encryption algorithms (such as those recommended by NIST) protect paths from security critical data to trusted user applications.
