Cross-service access via reused privileged credentials
Published Jun 11, 2024 · Updated Oct 29, 2024
Credential reuse in Hitachi Energy FOXMAN-UN and UNEM R15A through R16B allows remote authenticated users to extend access across services. Application and server management reuse nemadm login information, leaving the same credentials accepted for SSH and other services. Exploitation requires high privileges and complex routines, but successful reuse expands access beyond the originally authorized service.
