Unauthenticated configuration tampering via NFC
Published Feb 14, 2024 · Updated May 8, 2025
Improper authentication in all versions of Schneider Electric Harmony NFC relays allows physically proximate attackers to alter settings. Schneider Electric has not published the authentication check or processing error that permits unauthorized NFC configuration changes. NFC proximity is required, but no prior authentication or operator action is needed to modify operational relay parameters.
