CVE-2009-1472: Aten KH1516I IP Kvm Switch

High severity, CVSS 10.0. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Java client program for the ATEN KH1516i IP KVM switch with firmware 1.0.063 and the KN9116 IP KVM switch with firmware 1.1.104 has a hardcoded AES encryption key, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to (1) execute arbitrary Java code, or (2) gain access to machines connected to the switch, by hijacking a session.

Affected products

  • Aten KH1516I IP Kvm Switch: version 1.0.063 only
  • Aten KN9116 IP Kvm Switch: version 1.1.104 only
