CVE-2018-5451
This weakness can lead to the exposure of resources or functionality to unintended actors, possibly providing attackers with sensitive information or the ability to execute arbitrary code.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In Philips Alice 6 System version R8.0.2 or prior, when an actor claims to have a given identity, the software does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. This weakness can lead to the exposure of resources or functionality to unintended actors, possibly providing attackers with sensitive information or the ability to execute arbitrary code.
