Campbell Scientific dataloggers CR6, CR300, CR800, CR1000 and CR3000 may allow an attacker to download configuration files, which may contain sensitive information about the internal network. From factory defaults, the mentioned datalogges have HTTP and PakBus enabled. The devices, with the default configuration, allow this situation via the PakBus port. The exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to download, modify, and upload new configuration files.
The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

There are many different kinds of mistakes that introduce information exposures. The severity of the error can range widely, depending on the context in which the product operates, the type of sensitive information that is revealed, and the benefits it may provide to an attacker. Some kinds of sensitive information include:
Information might be sensitive to different parties, each of which may have their own expectations for whether the information should be protected. These parties include:
Information exposures can occur in different ways:
It is common practice to describe any loss of confidentiality as an “information exposure,” but this can lead to overuse of CWE-200 in CWE mapping. From the CWE perspective, loss of confidentiality is a technical impact that can arise from dozens of different weaknesses, such as insecure file permissions or out-of-bounds read. CWE-200 and its lower-level descendants are intended to cover the mistakes that occur in behaviors that explicitly manage, store, transfer, or cleanse sensitive information.
