MEDIUM 4.9EPSS 0.72%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.72%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

1. IPSec UDP key material can be retrieved from machine-to-machine interfaces and human-accessible interfaces by a user with admin credentials. Such a user, with the required system knowledge, could use this material to decrypt in-flight communication. 2. The vulnerability requires administrative access and shell access to the EdgeConnect appliance. An admin user can access IPSec seed and nonce parameters using the CLI, REST APIs, and the Linux shell.
