Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to steal sensitive information and gain access to the device.
The following versions of the Bently Nevada 3500 System, a real-time monitoring solution, are affected:
3.2.1 EXPOSURE OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION TO AN UNAUTHORIZED ACTOR CWE-200
Baker Hughes – Bently Nevada 3500 System TDI Firmware version 5.05 has a vulnerability in their password retrieval functionality which could be used by an attacker to access passwords stored on the device.
CVE-2023-34437 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
3.2.2 CLEARTEXT TRANSMISSION OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION CWE-319
Baker Hughes – Bently Nevada 3500 System TDI Firmware version 5.05 authentication secrets, used with the Connect Password, are passed in cleartext with every request to the device. An attacker could steal the authentication secret from communication traffic to the device and reuse it for arbitrary requests.
CVE-2023-34441 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 6.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L).
3.2.3 AUTHENTICATION BYPASS BY CAPTURE-REPLAY CWE-294
Baker Hughes – Bently Nevada 3500 System TDI Firmware version 5.05 accepts out-of-sequence messages from older communications. This could allow an attacker to replay older captured packets of traffic to the device to gain access.
CVE-2023-36857 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).
Diego Zaffaroni of Nozomi Networks reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
