CVE-2025-30254 Growatt CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations and individuals using Growatt cloud portal deployments, especially administrators, installers, and asset owners responsible for smart meters connected to the Growatt cloud service. Security teams should also care because the flaw is reachable without authentication and exposes device-identifying information.

Technical summary

The advisory identifies a vulnerability in Growatt cloud portal versions <= 3.6.0. The issue allows an unauthenticated actor to retrieve a smart meter serial number when they know the owner's username. The published CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects network reachability, no required privileges, and limited confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact.

Defensive priority

Medium. The issue is externally reachable and does not require authentication, but the disclosed impact is limited to information exposure and the vendor reports the cloud vulnerabilities have already been patched. Prioritize review of any environments still relying on older portal versions or where account hygiene and access monitoring are weak.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify that Growatt cloud portal components are updated to the latest available version; Growatt states updates are automatic and no user action is needed.
• Use strong, unique passwords for cloud accounts and enable multi-factor authentication where applicable.
• Review account and device access settings for unexpected changes or unfamiliar usernames.
• Monitor for unusual activity involving smart meter records or cloud portal access.
• Report security concerns to Growatt at [email protected].
• Follow CISA recommended practices for industrial control systems and general defense-in-depth guidance.
