CVE-2024-41153 Hitachi Energy CVE debrief

A command injection vulnerability in the Edge Computing UI of Hitachi Energy TRO600 series radios allows authenticated attackers with write access to the web interface to execute arbitrary system commands with root privileges. The vulnerability affects firmware versions 9.1.0.0 through 9.2.0.0 where the Edge Computing functionality is enabled. An attacker exploiting this flaw can escalate beyond their intended write privileges to gain complete administrative control of the device. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Who should care

Organizations operating Hitachi Energy TRO600 series radios in industrial, utility, or critical infrastructure environments, particularly those with Edge Computing functionality enabled and exposed web management interfaces.

Technical summary

The Edge Computing UI component in Hitachi Energy TRO600 series radios (firmware 9.1.0.0-9.2.0.0) fails to properly sanitize user input, allowing command injection through the web interface. An authenticated user with write access can inject shell metacharacters or command separators into UI fields, resulting in arbitrary command execution with root privileges on the underlying Linux-based operating system. This represents a privilege escalation from web UI write access to full system compromise.

Defensive priority

HIGH

Recommended defensive actions

  • Upgrade affected TRO600 series radios running firmware versions 9.1.0.0 through 9.2.0.0 with Edge Computing functionality to version 9.2.0.5 or later
  • Restrict physical access to TRO600 devices to authorized personnel only
  • Ensure TRO600 radios are not directly connected to the Internet
  • Deploy firewall segmentation with minimal exposed ports between process control networks and other networks
  • Prevent use of process control systems for Internet browsing, instant messaging, or email
  • Scan all portable computers and removable storage media for malware before connecting to control systems
  • Review the TRO600 series Configuration Guide for secure deployment practices
  • Monitor for unauthorized configuration changes or unexpected administrative activity on affected devices
