{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2023-23774","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"Motorola EBTS/MBTS Site Controller drops to debug prompt on unhandled exception. The Motorola MBTS Site Controller exposes a debug prompt on the device's serial port in case of an unhandled exception. This allows an attacker with physical access that is able to trigger such an exception to extract secret key material and/or gain arbitrary code execution on the device.","dates":{"published":"2023-08-29T08:49:32.508Z","modified":"2024-10-03T13:52:17.494Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:U/RC:C/CR:H/IR:H/AR:M/MAV:L/MAC:L/MPR:N/MUI:N/MS:U/MC:H/MI:H/MA:H","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","score":8.4,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:U/RC:C/CR:H/IR:H/AR:M/MAV:L/MAC:L/MPR:N/MUI:N/MS:U/MC:H/MI:H/MA:H","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"NVD","score":8.4,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false}]},"epss":{"probability":0.00208,"percentile":0.10321,"severity":"low","asOf":"2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","change":{"pp":0,"baselineDate":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","baselineScore":0.00208},"history":[{"date":"2026-09-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":0.10321}],"last30":[{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00208,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","sco
