6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs

Summary

Watchfire Controller Software contains self-signed hard-coded RSA private keys and corresponding X.509 certificates used for authenticating and encrypting HTTPS/TLS connections to the controller's built-in web management interface. These keys are embedded in plaintext within the application patch binaries in the firmware from Watchfire's Remote Support filestore.

Risk Assessment

The organization risks interception and eavesdropping of HTTPS/TLS traffic to the controller, as an attacker can obtain the private keys and impersonate the device or decrypt communications.

Recommendation

Contact Watchfire for a software update that removes hard-coded keys and implements secure key generation.
