CVE-2017-14009 — An Information Exposure issue was discovered in ProMinent MultiFLEX M10a Controller web interface

Medium CVSS 6.5

An Information Exposure issue was discovered in ProMinent MultiFLEX M10a Controller web interface. When an authenticated user uses the Change Password feature on the application, the current password for the user is specified in plaintext. This may allow an attacker who has been authenticated to gain access to the password.

Matched remediation archetype

Cryptography, certificate, signature, and channel validation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Inventory affected algorithms, key uses, trust stores, certificate validation settings, random sources, and plaintext channels across clients and services.
  • Determine which secrets, identities, signatures, or data protections depend on the affected primitive or validation path.
  • Check debug, compatibility, fallback, and hostname or audience override settings in build and runtime configuration.

Remediate safely

  • Use a maintained platform cryptographic API with approved algorithms, modes, parameters, randomness, and full peer identity validation.
  • Remove insecure fallback and validation bypasses; separate keys by purpose and load them from managed secret storage.
  • Plan rotation or reissuance for affected keys, certificates, tokens, hashes, or ciphertext and document compatibility sequencing.
