Relay disruption via undocumented privileged functionality
Published Apr 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Undocumented functionality in six SEL protection relay families allows remote authenticated users with privileged access to alter or interrupt relay behavior. SEL has not publicly described the hidden functions or the operations they perform after a privileged login. Successful use can compromise relay integrity or availability, causing unpredictable protection and control behavior in electric-power equipment.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
