An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by intercepting the network traffic between the user and the web portal. This could be achieved by launching a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack or by sniffing network traffic on public WiFi networks. Once the attacker captures the unencrypted credentials, they can use them to gain unauthorized access to the system or leak the user&#8217;s sensitive data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-889604317\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Below is a conceptual example of a network packet capture which contains the unencrypted credentials. An attacker could use a tool like Wireshark to intercept such network traffic:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">GET \/login HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nAuthorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=\nHTTP\/1.1 200 OK\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ &quot;token&quot;: &quot;...&quot; }<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In the example above, &#8220;dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=&#8221; is a Base64 encoding of &#8220;username:password&#8221;. Since the credentials are transmitted in plain text, they could be easily decoded by an attacker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pixmeo has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users are strongly advised to apply the patch immediately. As a temporary mitigation, users can also use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor and filter network traffic. However, these measures only offer partial protection and cannot fully prevent the exploitation of this vulnerability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The cybersecurity vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-27720 is an issue within the Pixmeo Osirix MD Web Portal where credential information is sent without encryption.
