A hard-coded encryption key vulnerability exists in the authentication functionality of WAGO e!Cockpit version 1.5.1.1. An attacker with access to communications between e!Cockpit and CoDeSyS Gateway can trivially recover the password of any user attempting to log in, in plain text.

Demo Examples

Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

CWE-327

These code examples use the Data Encryption Standard (DES).


               
EVP_des_ecb();

               
des.initEncrypt(key2);

               
}
return $encryptedPassword;

Once considered a strong algorithm, DES now regarded as insufficient for many applications. It has been replaced by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
