Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 1.33% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Unknown TriStation TS1131 (v4.0.0 to v4.9.0, v4.10.0) and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 30 daysRemediation target: Within 180 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

What, why and how

**VERSION NOT SUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED** A vulnerability with the former 'password' feature could allow a denial of service attack if the user is not following documented guidelines pertaining to dedicated TriStation connection and key-switch protection. This vulnerability was discovered and remediated in versions v4.9.1 and v4.10.1 on May 30, 2013. This feature is not present in version v4.9.1 and v4.10.1 through current. Therefore, the vulnerability is not present in these versions.

**VERSION NOT SUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED** A vulnerability with the former 'password' feature could allow a denial of service attack if the user is not following documented guidelines pertaining to dedicated TriStation connection and key-switch protection. This vulnerability was discovered and remediated in versions v4.9.1 and v4.10.1 on May 30, 2013. This feature is not present in version v4.9.1 and v4.10.1 through current. Therefore, the vulnerability is not present in these versions.

Why

The current structured CVE record identifies a security weakness, but the root cause requires confirmation in the linked vendor material.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may disrupt the affected service.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
