S3150-8t2f Firmware: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information
CVE-2025-25613 is a high-severity cleartext storage of sensitive information vulnerability in S3150-8t2f Firmware from Fs, 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 2.2.0D as the first without the flaw, so updating S3150-8t2f Firmware to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.25% 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 S3150-8t2f Firmware to 2.2.0D 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 |

Official description
FS Inc S3150-8T2F 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet L2+ Switch, 8 x Gigabit RJ45, with 2 x 1Gb SFP, Fanless. All versions before 2.2.0D Build 135103 were discovered to transmit cookies for their web based administrative application containing usernames and passwords. These were transmitted in cleartext using simple base64 encoding during every POST request made to the server.

The underlying weakness: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to encrypt the data at rest.
- In some systems/environments such as cloud, the use of double encryption (at both the software and hardware layer) might be required, and the developer might be solely responsible for both layers, instead of shared responsibility with the administrator of the broader system/environment.
