An improper certificate validation vulnerability was found in the FTP Backup on the ADM.
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 33/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.27% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
The FTP Backup on the ADM will not properly strictly enforce TLS certificate verification while connecting to an FTP server using FTPES/FTPS. An improper validated TLS/SSL certificates allows a remote attacker can intercept network traffic to perform a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack, which may intercept, modify, or obtain sensitive information such as authentication credentials and backup data. Affected products and versions include: from ADM 4.1.0 through ADM 4.3.3.ROF1 as well as from ADM 5.0.0 through ADM 5.1.2.RE51.

A certificate validation error is silently swallowed instead of terminating the connection. Often, code added for a test environment makes its way into production.
