In WAGO 852 series Industrial Managed Switches (e.g., models 8052-1322 and 0852-1328) running firmware 2.64 and earlier, user credentials are stored in the device configuration using AES in ECB mode with a hardcoded encryption key. An unauthenticated remote attacker who is able to obtain the configuration file (e.g., by downloading a configuration backup or via other file-read/access weaknesses such as an authentication bypass) can decrypt the stored data and recover plaintext usernames and passwords. This is noted as especially severe when chained with an authentication-bypass issue that enables access to protected endpoints and facilitates configuration retrieval.
