Paxton Net2’s Leaky Security: When Your Keycard Becomes a Skeleton Key!
Paxton Net2 software is as secure as a screen door on a submarine! CVE-2024-55447 exposes an insecure backend allowing PII leaks and card cloning without physical access. The vendor’s response? Crickets. Best defense? Keep a close eye on who accesses the system. Remediation? Not in sight!
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like Paxton Net2 is about as secure as a screen door on a submarine! With access controls as effective as a chocolate teapot, it’s just a matter of time before someone waltzes through the backend and hosts a cryptographic masquerade ball. Let’s hope Paxton finds a ‘patch’ of wisdom before someone else finds a patch of their own!
Key Points:
- Vulnerability in Paxton Net2 affects all current versions of the software.
- Exploiting MSSQL single-user mode permits unauthorized access and manipulation of user data.
- Potential for PII leakage, card cloning, and compromised audit log integrity.
- No physical access is needed; remote access tools can exploit vulnerabilities.
- No fix or acknowledgment from the vendor; monitoring access is advised.
