2 known affected

The vendor explicitly identifies these products as affected by this CVE.

  • CPCI85 Central Processing/Communication < V26.20
  • SICORE Base system < V26.20.0
Summary
The affected application ships with a default configuration that disables all OPC UA security mechanisms. This could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access and control over critical system functions.
Remediation

01

What, why and how

A vulnerability has been identified in CPCI85 Central Processing/Communication (All versions < V26.20), SICORE Base system (All versions < V26.20.0). The affected application ships with a default configuration that disables all OPC UA security mechanisms. This could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access and control over critical system functions.

What

A vulnerability has been identified in CPCI85 Central Processing/Communication (All versions < V26.20), SICORE Base system (All versions < V26.20.0). The affected application ships with a default configuration that disables all OPC UA security mechanisms. This could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access and control over critical system functions.

Why

The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the product's installer, administrator, or maintainer, but the default is not secure.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

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.

Likely attack path
a network path → Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible

Weakness

CWE-1188 ↗

CWE-1188: Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default. The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the product's installer, administrator, or maintainer, but the default is not secure.
