OvrC Cloud: Use of Weak Credentials
CVE-2023-31240 is a critical-severity use of weak credentials vulnerability in OvrC Cloud from Snap One, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 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 0.54% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update OvrC Cloud to 7.3 or a later version.
- Update Orvc to 7.2.0 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

The underlying weakness: Use of Weak Credentials
The product uses weak credentials (such as a default key or hard-coded password) that can be calculated, derived, reused, or guessed by an attacker.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- When the user changes or sets a password, check the password against a database of already compromised or breached passwords. These passwords are likely to be used in password guessing attacks.
Timeline
