Vulnerabilities 4

  • High 8.1

    Use of hard-coded VNC credentials in the engineering-workstation provisioning

    A provisioning script used when installing HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA) engineering workstations sets a fixed, hard-coded x11vnc password. Because the same credential is applied to every workstation provisioned this way, an attacker with adjacent-network a…

  • High 7.5

    Storage of passwords in a reversible format

    ANDRITZ HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA) in affected versions stores and transmits user passwords using a reversible format instead of a one-way password hash. This allows an attacker able to read the credential store or capture network traffic to recover all …

  • High 7.5

    Missing authentication and permissive CORS policy

    ANDRITZ HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA), in the default configuration of affected versions, exposes its data and configuration endpoint without any authentication and permissive CORS on every response. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can read …

  • Medium 5.3

    Missing authentication for logging-configuration endpoint

    The HTTP server component of ANDRITZ HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA) in affected versions exposes an undocumented endpoint that changes the server's logging level and target without requiring authentication. A remote, unauthenticated attacker with network acc…
