CVE-2024-49572
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA denial of service vulnerability exists in the Modbus TCP functionality of Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 1.6.9. A specially crafted network packet can lead to denial of service and weaken credentials resulting in default documented credentials being applied to the device. An attacker can send an unauthenticated packet to trigger this vulnerability.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA denial of service vulnerability exists in the Modbus TCP implementation of the Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 power monitoring device version 1.6.9. An unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted network packets to trigger the vulnerability, causing denial of service and forcing the device to fall back to default documented credentials, effectively weakening access controls.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm device model and firmware versionAccess the device's web interface or use Modbus/SNMP queries to retrieve the exact firmware version. For web interface, navigate to System > Information or similar status page. The device model should show DIRIS Digiware M-70.Affected if The device is a Socomec DIRIS Digiware M-70 running firmware version 1.6.9 exactly.
-
Verify Modbus TCP service statusCheck if the Modbus TCP service is enabled and listening on the device. This can be done by scanning the device's IP on port 502 (default Modbus TCP port) using tools like nmap or netcat, or by checking the device configuration through its web interface under Network or Communication settings.Affected if Modbus TCP is enabled and accessible on the network.
-
Assess network exposure of Modbus TCPDetermine if the Modbus TCP port (502/TCP) is exposed to untrusted networks. Review firewall rules, VLAN segmentation, and network access control lists. Use network scanning to confirm whether the device is reachable from outside the management network.Affected if The Modbus TCP service is reachable from untrusted or outside networks without proper access controls.
-
Check for credential fallback conditionAfter a DoS condition occurs, the device may revert to default documented credentials. Attempt to authenticate to the device using the documented default credentials (consult product manual for factory defaults). If authentication succeeds with default credentials when custom credentials were previously set, the device has fallen back.Affected if The device accepts default documented credentials, indicating a fallback has occurred after a DoS event.
A user is affected if they have a DIRIS Digiware M-70 on firmware 1.6.9 with Modbus TCP enabled and accessible, where the device may have fallen back to default credentials following a denial of service attack.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor-supplied firmware updates when available; implement network segmentation to restrict access to the Modbus TCP service to authorized systems only; change default credentials immediately if the device has reverted to them.
