GSD-2012-5862

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2023-12-13 01:20

Details

login.php on the Sinapsi eSolar Light Photovoltaic System Monitor (aka Schneider Electric Ezylog photovoltaic SCADA management server), Sinapsi eSolar, and Sinapsi eSolar DUO with firmware before 2.0.2870_2.2.12 establishes multiple hardcoded accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain administrative access by leveraging a (1) cleartext password or (2) password hash contained in this script, as demonstrated by a password of astridservice or 36e44c9b64.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
