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 · unedited
The Iskra iHUB and iHUB Lite smart metering gateway exposes its web management interface without requiring authentication, allowing unauthenticated users to access and modify critical device settings.

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 · high confidence

The Iskra iHUB and iHUB Lite smart metering gateways have their web management interface exposed without any authentication requirement. This allows any unauthenticated remote attacker to access the administrative interface and modify critical device settings including meter configurations, network parameters, and potentially billing data.

MitigationImmediately restrict network access to the device management interfaces via firewall rules or network segmentation. Apply any vendor-provided firmware updates that implement authentication. If no patch is available, consider replacing affected devices with hardened alternatives.

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. Identify the device model
    Access the device web interface or check physical labels to confirm the device is an Iskra iHUB or iHUB Lite smart metering gateway. Look for iHUB branding on the device or in the web interface header.
    Affected if The device is an Iskra iHUB or iHUB Lite model.
  2. Verify web interface accessibility
    Attempt to access the device web management interface via HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) from a browser. Do not enter any credentials when prompted.
    Affected if The web interface loads and displays device pages without requiring any login credentials.
  3. Check for unauthenticated access to settings
    Navigate to device configuration sections such as meter settings, data export parameters, or network settings within the web interface without logging in.
    Affected if You can view and modify critical settings including meter configuration and data export parameters without authentication.
  4. Confirm network exposure
    Determine if the device web interface is accessible from untrusted networks by testing access from outside the expected management network segment.
    Affected if The device web management interface is reachable from networks outside the trusted management zone.

A user is affected if they have an Iskra iHUB or iHUB Lite device whose web management interface is accessible and allows access to configuration settings without any authentication credentials.
