CVE-2022-40187

Foresight GC3 Launch Monitor 1.3.15.68 ships with a Target Communication Framework (TCF) service enabled. This service listens on a TCP port on all interfaces and allows for process debugging, file system modification, and terminal access as the root user. In conjunction with a hosted wireless access point and the known passphrase of FSSPORTS, an attacker could use this service to modify a device and steal intellectual property.

Weakness

During installation, installed file permissions are set to allow anyone to modify those files.

Affected Software

Potential Mitigations

• Compartmentalize the system to have “safe” areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
• Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
