NVD · unedited
Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in the mobile monitoring feature of Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64 versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric ICONICS Suite versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Hyper Historian versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric AnalytiX versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric MobileHMI versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric IoTWorX version 10.95, Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS64 versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions ICONICS Suite versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions Hyper Historian versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions AnalytiX versions 10.97.2 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions MobileHMI versions 10.97.2 and prior, and Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions IoTWorX version 10.95 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass proper authentication and log in to the system when all of the following conditions are met: (1) Active Directory is used in the security setting (2) "Automatic log in" option is enabled in the security setting (3) The IcoAnyGlass IIS Application Pool is running under an Active Directory Domain Account. (4) The IcoAnyGlass IIS Application Pool account is included in GENESIS64, ICONCIS Suite, and MC Works64 Security and has permission to log in.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

This is a Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in the mobile monitoring feature of multiple Mitsubishi Electric and ICONICS products. An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass authentication and log in to the system when four specific conditions are met: (1) Active Directory is used, (2) 'Automatic log in' is enabled, (3) IcoAnyGlass IIS Application Pool runs under an Active Directory Domain Account, and (4) that account has login permissions to the system. The vulnerability allows full access to the mobile monitoring feature without credentials.

MitigationDisable the 'Automatic log in' option in the security settings, or reconfigure the IcoAnyGlass IIS Application Pool to run under a non-domain account without permissions in the product's security configuration.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify if Active Directory authentication is configured
    Examine the system's authentication settings to determine if Active Directory is being used for user authentication. This is typically found in the product's security or user management configuration.
    Affected if Active Directory is configured and in use for authentication
  2. Confirm whether Automatic log in is enabled
    Access the product's security settings interface and locate the 'Automatic log in' option. Check its current state.
    Affected if The 'Automatic log in' feature is enabled
  3. Identify the IcoAnyGlass IIS Application Pool identity
    Open IIS Manager and view the properties of the IcoAnyGlass application pool, or check the applicationHost.config file, to determine which account the pool runs under.
    Affected if The IcoAnyGlass IIS Application Pool is configured to run using an Active Directory Domain Account
  4. Check if the application pool account has system login permissions
    Review the product's security or user permissions configuration to verify whether the domain account running the application pool has been granted login permissions to the system.
    Affected if The domain account running the application pool has login permissions configured in the product's security settings

All four conditions must be present for exploitation: Active Directory authentication, Automatic log in enabled, IcoAnyGlass running under a domain account, and that domain account having login permissions. If any one condition is false, the vulnerability does not apply.

From vendor data
Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Disable the 'Automatic log in' option in the security settings, or reconfigure the IcoAnyGlass IIS Application Pool to run under a non-domain account without permissions in the product's security configuration.
