An issue was discovered on MOXA EDS-G512E 5.1 build 16072215 devices. The password encryption method can be retrieved from the firmware. This encryption method is based on a chall value that is sent in cleartext as a POST parameter. An attacker could reverse the password encryption algorithm to retrieve it.

Weakness

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
