CVE-2022-22722

Configuration traffic disclosure via hard-coded SSH key

Published Feb 4, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Hard-coded credentials in Schneider Electric Easergy P5 firmware before 01.401.101 allow attackers to disclose configuration traffic. The firmware contains a hard-coded SSH cryptographic key that can be used after acquisition to take active control on the operational network. Exploitation requires possession of that key and control of the local operational network, where configuration traffic can be observed and manipulated.
