Descriptions

An issue was discovered on Mitsubishi Electric ME-RTU devices through 2.02 and INEA ME-RTU devices through 3.0. Undocumented hard-coded user passwords for root, ineaadmin, mitsadmin, and maint could allow an attacker to gain unauthorised access to the RTU. (Also, the accounts ineaadmin and mitsadmin are able to escalate privileges to root without supplying a password due to insecure entries in /etc/sudoers on the RTU.)

Las contraseñas de usuario embebidas no documentadas para root, ineaadmin, mitsadmin y maint podrían permitir a un atacante conseguir acceso no autorizado a la RTU. (Además, las cuentas ineaadmin y mitsadmin pueden escalar privilegios a root sin suministrar una contraseña debido a entradas no seguras en /etc/sudoers en la RTU).
