CVE-2023-31245
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 · uneditedDevices using Snap One OvrC cloud are sent to a web address when accessing a web management interface using a HTTP connection. Attackers could impersonate a device and supply malicious information about the device’s web server interface. By supplying malicious parameters, an attacker could redirect the user to arbitrary and dangerous locations on the web.
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 confidenceSnap One OvrC cloud devices redirect users to a web address when accessing the web management interface over HTTP. An attacker can impersonate a device and supply malicious parameters in the redirect, allowing redirection of users to arbitrary and dangerous external websites—this is an open redirect vulnerability.

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 Snap One OvrC device in your environmentLocate Snap One OvrC cloud-enabled devices on your network. Check device documentation, network scans, or management interfaces for 'OvrC' or 'Snap One' branding.Affected if A Snap One OvrC device exists in your environment.
-
Check installed firmware versionAccess the device web management interface or use the OvrC mobile/cloud app to view the firmware version. Compare against version 7.3.0.Affected if The installed version is less than 7.3.0.
-
Verify if HTTP access is enabledAttempt to access the device web management interface using HTTP (not HTTPS). Check the device configuration settings for HTTP/HTTPS access options.Affected if HTTP access is enabled and the management interface responds over HTTP.
-
Inspect redirect behaviorIf HTTP access is available, observe any redirect behavior when accessing the interface. Note if redirect parameters appear in the URL after initial access.Affected if The device performs URL redirects and exposes redirect parameters in the request.
-
Check for external domain redirectsIf redirect functionality is observable, test whether the redirect parameter accepts external domains by examining URL patterns or reviewing proxy/server logs for outgoing redirects.Affected if The redirect functionality allows or has allowed redirection to external/untrusted domains.
A Snap One OvrC device running firmware version below 7.3.0 with HTTP access enabled is vulnerable to open redirect attacks via the web management interface.

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 · scoped7.3.0
Implement strict allowlist-based validation of redirect URLs on the server side, replace HTTP with HTTPS for all management interface connections, and reject any redirect parameters containing untrusted or external domains.
Orvc version 7.3.0 or later
- 1. Identify all Orvc devices in the environment running versions prior to 7.3.0
- 2. Consult the official Control4/Snap One documentation for the upgrade procedure specific to your device model
- 3. Backup current device configurations before initiating the upgrade
- 4. Perform the upgrade to version 7.3.0 or later following vendor-provided instructions
- 5. Verify the upgrade was successful and confirm the new version number
- 6. Test the web management interface to confirm the open redirect vulnerability is remediated
