CVE-2021-43110 Voltronic Power, PowerShield CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations running Voltronic Power Viewpower, ViewPower Pro, or Powershield NetGuard should treat this as urgent, especially OT/ICS environments where UPS monitoring systems are reachable from production or admin networks. Security, infrastructure, and operations teams responsible for remote management interfaces should verify exposure and remediation status immediately.

Technical summary

The advisory describes a web-interface authorization failure: the software is supposed to allow only an authenticated and authorized admin user to configure the system, but an unauthenticated remote attacker can perform administrative actions instead. CISA lists affected versions as Voltronic Power Viewpower <=1.04-24215, ViewPower Pro <=2.2165, and Powershield NetGuard <=1.04-22119. The supplied CVSS v3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (9.8), reflecting a network-reachable issue with no privileges or user interaction required and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Defensive priority

Urgent / critical. This issue allows remote, unauthenticated administrative action against UPS management software and can directly affect power infrastructure availability.

Recommended defensive actions

• Confirm whether Viewpower, ViewPower Pro, or Powershield NetGuard are deployed and identify exact versions.
• Apply vendor remediation where available; Powershield states NetGuard 1.04-23292 and later include a fix.
• For Voltronic Power products, follow CISA guidance and contact vendor support for remediation status, since CISA notes Voltronic Power has not responded to mitigation requests.
• Restrict access to the management web interface to trusted administrative networks only.
• Segment UPS management systems from broader networks and minimize exposure of OT/ICS management services.
• Monitor for unexpected changes to admin credentials, configuration, or UPS control actions.
• Use CISA’s ICS recommended practices and defense-in-depth guidance for additional hardening.

Evidence notes

All key facts in this debrief come from the CISA CSAF advisory ICSA-25-182-05 and the linked official references. The affected products and version limits are listed in the advisory metadata; the impact description is taken directly from the advisory summary. The only explicit fixed version in the supplied corpus is Powershield NetGuard 1.04-23292 and later.
