Summary

Aquatronica's electronic AQUARIUM CONTROLLER is easy to use, allowing you to control all the electrical devices in an aquarium and to monitor all their parameters; it can be used for soft water aquariums, salt water aquariums or both simultaneously.

Description

The tcp.php endpoint on the Aquatronica controller is exposed to unauthenticated attackers over the network. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to send a POST request which can reveal sensitive configuration information, including plaintext passwords.
