CVE-2022-33175 is a critical vulnerability affecting Power Distribution Units (PDUs) running Powertek firmware prior to version 3.30.30. It involves insecure permissions on the user.token field, accessible via the /cgi/get_param.cgi HTTP API. This allows unauthenticated attackers to disclose active administrator session IDs, leading to full compromise of the device, including reading cleartext passwords and reconfiguring settings. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical) due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are public exploit codes or Metasploit modules available, and it has received minimal community discussion or media coverage.
