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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
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: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

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 4 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

Users should avoid configuring LDAP authentication to use the SIMPLE method, or ensure that LDAP communication is secured using encryption methods such as LDAPS or StartTLS. Monitoring vendor advisories for updates and applying any forthcoming patches is recommended.

Description

CVE-2024-34162 is a vulnerability in the web interface of certain devices where LDAP credentials are intended to be hidden even from administrative users. However, when LDAP authentication is configured to use the SIMPLE method, the device transmits the LDAP password in clear-text over the network. This clear-text transmission allows an attacker to intercept and retrieve the LDAP password. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5.3. Specific affected product details are provided by the respective vendors in their advisories.

Impact

An attacker with network access between the device and the LDAP server can intercept the clear-text LDAP password when SIMPLE authentication is used. This compromises the confidentiality of LDAP credentials, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the LDAP directory. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability directly. The CVSS score of 5.3 reflects a medium impact due to credential disclosure without requiring privileges or user interaction.

Summary

The affected devices' web interface is designed to conceal LDAP credentials from users, including administrators. Despite this, if LDAP authentication is set to SIMPLE, the device communicates with the LDAP server without encryption, exposing the LDAP password in clear-text. This exposure can lead to credential compromise through network interception. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-767 (Access to Critical Private Variable or Data). Users should consult vendor advisories for affected models and versions.

CWE-767Access to Critical Private Variable via Public Method (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
The product defines a public method that reads or modifies a private variable.
Implementation
Use class accessor and mutator methods appropriately. Perform validation when accepting data from a public method that is intended to modify a critical private variable. Also be sure that appropriate access controls are being applied when a public method interfaces with critical data.
