CVE-2026-3314 Hitachi CVE debrief

A missing password field masking vulnerability in Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer and Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor products allows physical attackers to observe credentials entered into unmasked password fields. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates this requires physical access to the device, with low attack complexity and no privileges required, resulting in high confidentiality impact. The vulnerability stems from CWE-549 (Missing Password Field Masking), where password input fields fail to obscure entered characters, potentially exposing credentials to shoulder surfing or screen recording. Affected versions span multiple product lines: Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer from 10.0.0-00 through 11.0.7-00, Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer viewpoint from 10.8.1-00 through 11.0.7-00, and Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor from 3.2.0-00 through 11.0.7-00. Hitachi released version 11.0.8-00 as the unified remediation across all affected products. The NVD entry currently shows 'Deferred' status, indicating the vulnerability is under review or awaiting additional analysis. Organizations should prioritize patching systems in shared or publicly accessible locations where physical access controls may be weaker.

Who should care

Organizations running Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer or Infrastructure Analytics Advisor in environments with shared workstations, data centers with visitor access, or locations where screens may be visible to unauthorized individuals. Security teams responsible for physical security controls and compliance with password protection policies. System administrators managing Hitachi infrastructure monitoring deployments.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in password input fields within Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer detail view, probe modules, viewpoint interface, and Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor Data Center Analytics and probe modules. When users enter passwords, the fields fail to mask input characters (typically with asterisks or dots), displaying plaintext credentials on screen. This exposes passwords to anyone with physical visibility of the screen during authentication events. The attack requires local physical presence but no authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation yields high confidentiality impact through credential exposure, though no integrity or availability impact occurs. The fix in version 11.0.8-00 implements proper password field masking across all affected interfaces.
