Impact
A lack of authentication protects the web interface of the Hubbell Aclara Metrum Cellular device. This weakness allows an attacker to change critical configuration settings or restart the device without permission. The resulting unauthorized changes can interrupt normal device operations and, if repeated, can cause a loss of communications with the meter.
Affected Systems
Hubbell’s Aclara Metrum Cellular Web Interface, versions prior to firmware 2.1.0.105. The vulnerability is present in all earlier firmware releases until the recommended update is applied.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity. Exploitation is straightforward over the Internet because the web interface accepts requests without authentication, and no other mitigating controls are reported. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the lack of authentication suggests a high likelihood of exploitation if the interface is reachable from the network.
