Binardat 10G08-0800GSM network switch firmware versions prior to V300SP10260209 store a user password in a client-side cookie as a Base64-encoded value accessible via the web interface. Because Base64 is reversible and provides no confidentiality, an attacker who can access the cookie value can recover the plaintext password.
Weakness
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.
