Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared physical (e.g., Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11) or logical (e.g., local IP subnet) network, or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN to an administrative network zone).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 2 Jul 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 13 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Administrators should review SSH multiuser mode settings and consider disabling it if not required to reduce exposure. Monitor access to log files and restrict SSH access to trusted users only. Check the vendor advisory regularly for updates on patches or official fixes.

Description

A vulnerability was discovered on StormShield Network Security 4.3.0 to 4.3.41 (included), 4.8.0 to 4.8.15 (included) , 5.0.0 to 5.0.5 (included) There is a possible leak of secret information if administration commands have been passed with the CLI command line tool. Someone with SSH access to the firewall (if SSH multiuser mode is enabled) could possibly get the proxy CA passphrase or TPM password.

Impact

If exploited, this vulnerability could lead to the disclosure of highly sensitive credentials (proxy CA passphrase, TPM password) to an attacker with SSH access and multiuser mode enabled. This compromises confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability. The attacker must already have elevated privileges (high) and user interaction is required, limiting the ease of exploitation.

Summary

This vulnerability (CWE-532) affects Stormshield Network Security appliances in specified versions. When administrative commands are run through the CLI, sensitive secrets like the proxy CA passphrase or TPM password may be logged insecurely. An attacker with SSH access and multiuser mode enabled could exploit this to obtain these secrets by reading the log files. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium), reflecting the requirement for high privileges and user interaction, but with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. No official remediation or patch has been published as of the data provided.
