CVE-2026-42951: CWE-522 in Danelec MacGregor Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) G4e
CVE-2026-42951 is a medium severity vulnerability in the Danelec MacGregor Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) G4e. An authenticated user with low privileges can download a backup of the device, which contains account data and password hashes. This exposure could lead to unauthorized access if the password hashes are cracked. There is no official patch or remediation level provided at this time. The vulnerability requires authentication and high attack complexity, limiting immediate exploitation. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-42951) affects the Danelec MacGregor Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) G4e. It allows an authenticated user with low privileges to download a backup file from the device. The backup includes sensitive account data and password hashes, which could be used to compromise user credentials. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4 (medium), reflecting the need for authentication and high attack complexity. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available, and no exploits are known to be active in the wild.
Potential Impact
The impact involves confidentiality loss due to exposure of account data and password hashes. This could enable attackers to escalate privileges or gain unauthorized access if they successfully crack the password hashes. Integrity impact is low, and availability is not affected. The vulnerability requires authenticated access and has a high attack complexity, which reduces the likelihood of exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict authenticated access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual access patterns. Avoid sharing credentials and consider additional network-level protections to limit access to the device.
