CVE-2016-2282
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMoxa ioLogik E2200 devices before 3.12 and ioAdmin Configuration Utility before 3.18 do not properly encrypt credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain the associated cleartext via unspecified vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceMoxa ioLogik E2200 devices before v3.12 and ioAdmin Configuration Utility before v3.18 improperly encrypt (or fail to encrypt) stored credentials, allowing remote attackers to obtain cleartext passwords through unspecified vectors. The vulnerability stems from weak or absent cryptographic protection of authentication credentials.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the ioLogik E2200 firmware versionAccess the device web interface or use the ioAdmin Configuration Utility to view the firmware version information, typically found under Device Status or System InformationAffected if The firmware version is 3.11 or lower (versions before 3.12 are affected)
-
Identify the ioAdmin Configuration Utility versionOpen the ioAdmin Configuration Utility and check the About or Help menu for the software version informationAffected if The software version is 3.17 or lower (versions before 3.18 are affected)
-
Locate stored credential configurationsInspect configuration files or backup files created by ioAdmin Configuration Utility that store device credentials, typically found in the application data folder or exported configuration exportsAffected if Credentials are found stored in configuration files without proper encryption or in reversible format
-
Check for default or weak credential storage locationsReview any local configuration or backup files on the management workstation that may contain device credentials used by ioAdmin to connect to ioLogik devicesAffected if Credential files exist in plain text or use weak/obfuscated encoding rather than strong encryption
Your environment is affected if you are running ioLogik E2200 firmware version 3.11 or earlier, or ioAdmin Configuration Utility version 3.17 or earlier, and you store or manage credentials through this utility.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade ioLogik E2200 firmware to version 3.12 or later and ioAdmin Configuration Utility to version 3.18 or later. Additionally, isolate affected devices behind firewalls, restrict network access, and monitor for unauthorized credential access.
