Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-04-30 13:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:24
Severity
7.2 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
A vulnerability exists in the RTU500 that allows for authenticated and authorized users to bypass secure update, if secure update feature was not enabled on all CMUs of a RTU500. If a malicious actor successfully exploits this vulnerability, they could use it to update the RTU500 with unsigned firmware.
