ARC Solo Security Flaw: The Password-Free Disaster Waiting to Happen!

View CSAF: The ARC Solo monitoring device is suffering from a classic case of missing authentication for critical functions. With a CVSS v4 score of 9.3, it’s open season for remote exploiters. The fix? An update to version v1.0.62 or later. Until then, the device is about as secure as an unlocked screen door.

  • The affected devices are used in broadcasting and communication sectors worldwide.
  • A CVSS v4 score of 9.3 labels this as a severe security risk.
  • Souvik Kandar from MicroSec discovered and reported the flaw.
