visual__planning_8: Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay
CVE-2023-49231 is a critical-severity authentication bypass by capture-replay vulnerability in visual__planning_8 from Stilog, 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. Affected visual__planning_8 versions: 1.0. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 42.9% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is in the top 1.26% of all scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of visual__planning_8 you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in Stilog Visual Planning 8. It allows an unauthenticated attacker to receive an administrative API token.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay
A capture-replay flaw exists when the design of the product makes it possible for a malicious user to sniff network traffic and bypass authentication by replaying it to the server in question to the same effect as the original message (or with minor changes).
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Utilize some sequence or time stamping functionality along with a checksum which takes this into account in order to ensure that messages can be parsed only once.
- Since any attacker who can listen to traffic can see sequence numbers, it is necessary to sign messages with some kind of cryptography to ensure that sequence numbers are not simply doctored along with content.
