Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.39% 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 Gallagher Controller 7000 and 6000 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: No default targetRemediation target: Normal maintenance

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

Uncaught Exception (CWE-248) in the Controller 6000 and Controller 7000 diagnostic web interface allows an authenticated and authorized operator to trigger a Controller restart by sending specific requests, resulting in a temporary denial of service.  Version of Command Centre affected: * 9.50 prior to vCR9.50.260616a (distributed in 9.50.1587(MR1)) * 9.40 prior to vCR9.40.260616a (distributed in 9.40.3130(MR3)) * 9.30 prior to vCR9.30.260616a (distributed in 9.30.3983(MR5)) * 9.20 prior to vCR9.20.260616a (distributed in 9.20.4349(MR7)) * all versions of 9.10 and prior.

Why

An exception is thrown from a function, but it is not caught.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. 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.

CWE-248: Uncaught Exception. An exception is thrown from a function, but it is not caught.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.
