Official description
Moxa’s Ethernet switch is vulnerable to an authentication bypass because of flaws in its authorization mechanism.

These vulnerabilities may enable brute-force attacks to guess valid credentials or MD5 collision attacks to forge authentication hashes, potentially compromising the security of the device.
