CVE-2023-5514Network attack vector

Filesystem structure disclosure via full-path report queries

Published Nov 1, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025

Information disclosure in Hitachi Energy eSOMS 6.0 through 6.3.13 allows remote attackers to enumerate local filesystem structure. The report-generation interface processes certain parameter queries containing full file paths and returns response messages that reveal the server's directory layout. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the consequence is limited to filesystem-structure disclosure rather than file-content access.
