CVE-2024-41156 Hitachi Energy CVE debrief

Hitachi Energy TRO600 series radios export configuration profiles in both plain-text and encrypted formats. Authenticated users with write access can extract these profile files, which contain sensitive network configuration details that could aid reconnaissance against Tropos networks. The vulnerability is rated LOW severity (CVSS 2.7) due to the high privilege requirement and limited confidentiality impact. A vendor fix is available in firmware version 9.2.0.5.
