CVE-1999-1174

CVE-1999-1174 describes a physical bypass vulnerability in the Iomega ZIP-100 drive. An attacker with physical access can circumvent password protection by swapping a known, password-protected disk for a target disk after the drive powers down, then using the known password to access the target. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 4.6) has a local attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this older vulnerability.
