1.   Vulnerability description

Three vulnerabilities have been identified.
Vulnerability number:JVN#46345126
  1. Session Management Defects in Command Center Vulnerability (CVE-2022-41798)
    A vulnerability that allows users to login without login authentication by forged cookies in an environment where the product is accessible through Command Center.
  2. Inadequate Authentication of Command Center (CVE-2022-41807)
    In an usage environment where the product is accessible via Command Center, if a client (a malicious attacker's personal computer) issues a request to a server (the product) to change device settings using the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), configuration changes can be made without logging in to Command Center.
  3. Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Command Center (CVE-2022-41830
    In an usage environment where the product is accessible via Command Center, a vulnerability could allow an attacker to embed malicious JavaScript in a certificate by exploiting the ability to register, configure, and reference SSL/TLS certificates in the Command Center security settings. Therefore, when the equipment administrator logs in to the Command Center and references the SSL/TLS certificate, JavaScript is executed and the equipment administrator can be victimized.
