commandGET /certs/mxview.key HTTP/1.1
  • Monitor HTTP GET requests for the path /certs/mxview.key on port 81, which indicates an attempt to retrieve the MXview web server private key.
  • Alert on any inbound HTTP request to port 81 containing the URI path /certs/mxview.key, regardless of source IP, as no access control is enforced.
  • ·The private key file is stored in a user-accessible roaming AppData path, meaning the exposure path may vary per the logged-in TARGET-USER account running the MXview service.
  • ·The vulnerability affects MXview V2.8 specifically; the vendor issued an updated firmware on April 7, 2017 to address this issue.
