Until an official fix is available, consider disabling the SOAP functionality if it is not required to reduce exposure. Monitor for vendor updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
Description
NAVTOR NavBox versions up to and including 4.16.1.20 contain hard-coded credentials in their Windows Communication Foundation (SOAP) implementation. If SOAP functionality is enabled, a local attacker can extract these credentials to bypass intended transfer workflows. Successful authentication via the SOAP interface allows access to privileged methods that can write or overwrite files within application-defined paths. This vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5.8.
