CVE-2025-27568 Growatt CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations and individuals using the Growatt cloud portal, especially administrators, installers, and security teams responsible for account management, password resets, and multi-factor authentication settings. Internet-facing deployments should treat this as a privacy and account-enumeration risk.

Technical summary

The advisory describes an unauthenticated remote issue in the Growatt cloud portal where knowledge of a username is enough to cause a password reset email to be sent. That response reveals the user's email address. The supplied advisory identifies the affected product as Growatt cloud portal <=3.6.0 and gives CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N (5.3), indicating confidentiality impact only.

Defensive priority

Medium. Prioritize remediation for any environment exposing the Growatt cloud portal to the internet or relying on the portal for user account management, because the flaw can disclose user email addresses without authentication.

Recommended defensive actions

• Confirm the environment is running a patched Growatt cloud portal release; Growatt states the cloud-based vulnerabilities were patched and no user action is needed.
• Update all devices to the latest firmware version when available, noting the advisory says updates are automatic.
• Use strong passwords and enable multi-factor authentication where applicable.
• Review account and portal activity for unexpected password reset messages or unusual access patterns.
• Report security concerns to [email protected].
• Follow CISA industrial control systems recommended practices and defense-in-depth guidance for connected cloud and OT environments.
