CVE-2024-31410
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 · uneditedThe devices which CyberPower PowerPanel manages use identical certificates based on a hard-coded cryptographic key. This can allow an attacker to impersonate any client in the system and send malicious data.
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 confidenceCyberPower PowerPanel managed devices use identical SSL/TLS certificates derived from a hard-coded cryptographic key embedded in the firmware. An attacker who extracts this key can forge certificates and impersonate legitimate clients, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks and injection of malicious data into the monitoring system.

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.
-
Check installed PowerPanel versionAccess the PowerPanel web management interface or use the device's version check command. Navigate to About or System Information section to find the firmware/software version number.Affected if The displayed version is 4.9.0 or lower.
-
Inspect SSL/TLS certificate configurationIn the PowerPanel management interface, navigate to Network Settings or SSL/TLS configuration. View the installed certificate details including issuer, serial number, and validity dates.Affected if The certificate shows signs of being a default factory-installed certificate rather than a unique per-device certificate.
-
Compare certificates across multiple devicesIf multiple PowerPanel devices are deployed, extract the SSL/TLS certificate from each device using the management interface or by initiating an SSL handshake and examining the certificate chain.Affected if Different devices show identical or very similar certificates, indicating they share the same underlying certificate derived from a hard-coded key.
-
Check certificate fingerprint/serialRetrieve the certificate fingerprint (SHA-1/SHA-256) or serial number from the device's SSL configuration and compare against known default values if available.Affected if The certificate fingerprint or serial number matches known hard-coded certificate values common to unpatched devices.
The environment is affected if PowerPanel version is 4.9.0 or lower, or if the SSL/TLS certificate shows signs of being a default hard-coded certificate rather than a unique per-device certificate.

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 dataContact CyberPower for firmware/software updates that implement unique per-device certificates; until patched, isolate affected devices on dedicated network segments and monitor for anomalous connections.
