Remote command execution via obscured default credentials
Published Mar 12, 2025 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Insecure defaults in Schneider Electric WebHMI 4.1.0.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute unauthorized commands. WebHMI initializes an account with default password credentials but displays its default username incorrectly, obscuring the account that must be secured. Network reachability and unchanged first-use credentials are required; resulting commands can compromise application data and service availability.

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=WebHMI v4.1.0.0 and prior when deployed with EPAS User Interface 2.6.30.19 and prior
