## Technical details

A vulnerability classified as Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor (CWE-200) exists in the firmware of Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3xxx charging controllers. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access (specifically adjacent network access according to the summary, though the CVSS vector indicates Network) to download system log files without providing credentials. This occurs due to insufficient access control on the log retrieval endpoint. Successful exploitation can result in the disclosure of restricted information contained within the logs. The issue is resolved in firmware version 1.9.0.
