To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must send an HTTP packet to the data retrieval interface (/cgi/get_param.cgi) with the tmpToken cookie set to an empty string followed by a semicolon. This bypasses an active session authorization check. This can be then used to fetch the values of protected sys.passwd and sys.su.name fields that contain the username and password in cleartext.","published":"2022-06-13T18:15:10.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T04:48:33.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-863"],"affected":["powertekpdus/basic pdu firmware","powertekpdus/pm pdu firmware","powertekpdus/piml pdu firmware","powertekpdus/smart pim firmware","powertekpdus/smart pos firmware","powertekpdus/smart pom firmware","powertekpdus/smart poms firmware"],"epss":{"score":0.14116,"percentile":0.96574,"date":"2026-11-03","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 14.1%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs.
