What is CVE-2023-1514?
CVE-2023-1514 is a high-severity vulnerability in Hitachi Energy RTU500 Scripting Interface, published on 19 Dec 2023. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A vulnerability exists in the component RTU500 Scripting interface. When a client connects to a server using TLS, the server presents a certificate. This certificate links a public key to the identity of the service and is signed by a Certification Authority (CA), allowing the client to validate that the remote service can be trusted and is not malicious. If the client does not validate the parameters of the certificate, then attackers could be able to spoof the identity of the service. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by using faking the identity of a RTU500 device and intercepting the messages initiated via the RTU500 Scripting interface.
