CVE-2019-14925
A world-readable /usr/smartrtu/init/settings.xml configuration file on the file system allows an attacker to read sensitive configuration settings such as usernames, passwords, and other sensitive RTU data due to insecure permission assignment.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
