Credential theft via login-page impersonation
Published Mar 11, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025
UI misrepresentation in Hitachi Energy Ellipse EAM 9.0.25 and earlier allows remote attackers to steal credentials via a malicious login page. Public advisories do not identify the UI control, page handler, or rendering operation that allows the counterfeit site to impersonate an Ellipse login page. Exploitation requires a user to visit the attacker-controlled page and submit authentication credentials, exposing those credentials to the attacker.
