Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NeoScale Systems CryptoStor 700 series appliance versions prior to 2.6

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass smartcard authentication and gain access by presenting a valid username and password if they can disable ActiveX, due to the reliance on client-side ActiveX code for smartcard authentication.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.6, consider disabling the use of ActiveX for smartcard authentication as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the appliance to minimize the risk of exploitation.
