GHSA-8XW2-RF2C-8V7W

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-17 01:38 – Updated: 2025-07-08 18:30

Details

login.php on the Sinapsi eSolar Light Photovoltaic System Monitor (aka Schneider Electric Ezylog photovoltaic SCADA management server), Sinapsi eSolar, and Sinapsi eSolar DUO with firmware before 2.0.2870_2.2.12 establishes multiple hardcoded accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain administrative access by leveraging a (1) cleartext password or (2) password hash contained in this script, as demonstrated by a password of astridservice or 36e44c9b64.

CVE-2012-5862 (GCVE-0-2012-5862)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2012-11-23 11:00 – Updated: 2025-07-08 15:29

Summary

These Sinapsi devices store hard-coded passwords in the PHP file of the device. By using the hard-coded passwords in the device, attackers can log into the device with administrative privileges. This could allow the attacker to have unauthorized access.

Severity ?

No CVSS data available.
