Unauthenticated batch-job invocation via passwordless REST requests
Published Mar 27, 2024 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Improper authentication in Hitachi Energy Asset Suite EAM 9.6.3.0 through 9.6.3.12 and 9.6.4.0 allows remote attackers to invoke REST services. The batch-job processing path accepts a valid username with an empty password and treats the request as authenticated, while other credential combinations do not trigger the anomaly. A remote party needs a valid username, but no password or prior session, and can invoke services that process batch jobs; published evidence identifies no broader consequence.

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.
- Affected versionversion=9.6.3.0 <9.6.3.13
- Affected versionversion=9.6.4.0 <9.6.4.1
