Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Files or resources are created with permissions that let others read or change them.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it from the same local network segment, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker use a weak default the deployment never changed.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 8% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place I.R.I.S S.A. IRISPowerscan runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- Segment the networks that can reach it.
Description from NVD
IRISPowerscan contain an insecure default configuration where the built-in installation account is assigned elevated privileges with a predictable password, which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to gain unauthorised access to privileged application functionality.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Default settings, permissions and deployment configuration. The flaw sits between the shipped defaults and a hardened deployment.
Trust boundaries in play
- Local network segment. The attacker must share a network segment with the target.
- Between the shipped defaults and a hardened deployment. An attacker who crosses it can use a weak default the deployment never changed.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does I.R.I.S S.A. IRISPowerscan run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which network segments can reach them?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
