AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability exists in Hitachi Energy Asset Suite, where unauthenticated users can request the PropertiesReloadServlet, CacheFlushServlet, MetadataCacheFlushServlet and ResourceBundleReloadServlet. These servlets perform administrative functions such as reloading configuration and flushing caches. Because authentication is not required, an attacker can repeatedly invoke them, leading to resource exhaustion or loss of cached data and thus service interruption. The issue is a missing authentication check, identified as CWE‑306; it directly impacts availability.

Affected Systems

Hitachi Energy Asset Suite. No specific version numbers are listed, so all installations that expose the affected servlets are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % shows a very low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not catalogued in CISA KEV. Attack is likely carried out over a network connection to the exposed URLs, requires no credentials, and would result in application unavailability. No additional active conditions are mentioned in the description.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any vendor‑issued security patch or upgrade Asset Suite to the latest release that removes unauthenticated access to the maintenance servlets.
  • Restrict external access to the PropertiesReloadServlet, CacheFlushServlet, MetadataCacheFlushServlet and ResourceBundleReloadServlet by configuring firewall or reverse‑proxy rules.
  • Configure monitoring to alert on repeated calls to those servlet endpoints and ensure that only trusted internal hosts can reach them.
