In Notifier Web Server (NWS) Version 3.50 and earlier, the Honeywell Fire Web Server’s authentication may be bypassed by a capture-replay attack from a web browser.

Weakness

A capture-replay flaw exists when the design of the product makes it possible for a malicious user to sniff network traffic and bypass authentication by replaying it to the server in question to the same effect as the original message (or with minor changes).
