CVE-2020-24683 (GCVE-0-2020-24683)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-12-22 21:19 – Updated: 2024-09-17 01:36
VLAI?
Summary
The affected versions of S+ Operations (version 2.1 SP1 and earlier) used an approach for user authentication which relies on validation at the client node (client-side authentication). This is not as secure as having the server validate a client application before allowing a connection. Therefore, if the network communication or endpoints for these applications are not protected, unauthorized actors can bypass authentication and make unauthorized connections to the server application.
Severity ?
9.8 (Critical)
