Unknown Unknown - Not Provided
BaseFortify

Publication date: 2025-07-03

Last updated on: 2026-02-06

Assigner: SICK AG

Description
The hard drives of the device are not encrypted using a full volume encryption feature such as BitLocker. This allows an attacker with physical access to the device to use an alternative operating system to interact with the hard drives, completely circumventing the Windows login. The attacker can read from and write to all files on the hard drives.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability occurs because the device's hard drives are not encrypted with full volume encryption like BitLocker. An attacker with physical access can bypass the Windows login by using an alternative operating system to access the hard drives directly, allowing them to read and write all files on the device.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

If exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to fully access, modify, or delete all data on the device's hard drives, bypassing any Windows login protections. This can lead to data theft, data loss, or unauthorized data manipulation.


What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

To mitigate this vulnerability, enable full volume encryption on the device's hard drives using a feature such as BitLocker. This will prevent attackers with physical access from bypassing the Windows login by using an alternative operating system to access the hard drives.
