VAR-201412-0103
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:25Ekahau B4 staff badge tag 5.7 with firmware 1.4.52, Real-Time Location System (RTLS) Controller 6.0.5-FINAL, and Activator 3 uses part of the MAC address as part of the RC4 setup key, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess the key via a brute-force attack. Ekahau Real-Time Location System is prone to multiple security weaknesses. Successful exploits may allow an attacker to bypass certain security restrictions and perform unauthorized actions. Ekahau Real-Time Location System (RTLS) is a real-time positioning system based on Wi-Fi (wireless) of Ekahau Company in the United States. Activator is one of the label setter components. There are security vulnerabilities in several Ekahau products. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the program uses part of the MAC address as part of the RC4 installation key
