Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Port Exposed to the Internet
| Category | SECURITY_MISCONFIGURATION |
| Base Score | 3.0 |
Description
SNMP, an application protocol that is not encrypted, is exposed to the internet.
Impact
Attackers often gain access to SNMP services through weak and default passwords. This access allows attackers to read device, and sometimes write, device configurations. In some cases, write access can lead to host compromise.
