CVE-2023-1137
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 · uneditedDelta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions prior to 1.0.5 contain a vulnerability in which a low-level user could extract files and plaintext credentials of administrator users, resulting in privilege escalation.
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 · moderate confidenceDelta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions prior to 1.0.5 contain a vulnerability allowing authenticated low-privilege users to extract files and plaintext credentials of administrator accounts, enabling privilege escalation to administrative level.

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 installed version via web interfaceLog into the InfraSuite Device Master web interface and navigate to the System Information or About page. Locate the software version number displayed.Affected if The version shown is any version prior to 1.0.5 (for example, 1.0.4, 1.0.3, 1.0.2, etc.)
-
Identify installed version via system diagnosticsAccess the device locally or via SSH if available, and check the installed package version using system commands or configuration files that store the application version.Affected if The version retrieved is prior to 1.0.5
-
Verify presence of low-privilege user accountsNavigate to the User Management or Account Settings section in the web interface and enumerate existing user accounts. Note which accounts have non-administrative or limited privileges.Affected if Any low-privilege (non-administrator) user accounts exist in the system
-
Test file extraction access with low-privilege accountLog in using a low-privilege user account. Attempt to access file download, file浏览, or file export features within the application. Observe if the application permits reading system files or configuration files.Affected if A low-privilege user can access or download files they should not have permission to read
-
Check for exposed credential storageUsing the low-privilege account, attempt to access any functionality that exposes stored credentials, configuration files containing passwords, or user account data in plaintext.Affected if Plaintext administrator credentials or sensitive credential data is accessible to low-privilege users
A user is affected if the installed InfraSuite Device Master version is below 1.0.5 AND low-privilege user accounts exist with the ability to access files or credentials they should not be able to read.

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.
dbcve · scoped1.0.5
Upgrade to Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master version 1.0.5 or later to remediate this vulnerability.
Infrasuite Device Master 1.0.5
- 1. Identify all deployed instances of Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master
- 2. Check current version of each instance (versions prior to 1.0.5 are affected)
- 3. Obtain Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master version 1.0.5 or later from official Delta Electronics channels
- 4. Follow Delta Electronics official upgrade procedures to update to version 1.0.5
- 5. After upgrade, verify that low-level users can no longer extract administrator credentials
- 6. Review user access controls to confirm the privilege escalation vulnerability is remediated
