Privilege escalation via unauthorized password modification
Published Oct 26, 2023 · Updated Jan 16, 2025
Improper access control in Sielco PolyEco1000 allows remote attackers to escalate privileges by changing passwords in POST requests. The web interface accepts password-changing POST parameters without enforcing authorization; the public advisory does not identify the endpoint or parameter names. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation permits unauthorized control of password-protected functions.
