Affected devices use a hardcoded key to obfuscate the configuration backup that an administrator can export from the device. This could allow an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges or an attacker that obtains a configuration backup to extract configuration information from the exported file.

Weakness

The use of a hard-coded cryptographic key significantly increases the possibility that encrypted data may be recovered.
