Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
NetMan 204 fails to enforce authentication on its administrative pages and command endpoints. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can directly request administrative pages (such as administration.html, administration-commands.html, and configuration.html) to disclose sensitive information including LDAP configuration and active user details, and can invoke privileged UPS control commands - including shutdown, reboot, switch-on-bypass, and battery test - without supplying any credentials.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated administrative access in Riello UPS NetMan 204 network management cards allows remote attackers to read sensitive configuration and invoke privileged power-control commands by requesting administrative pages directly. With CVSS 4.0 score 9.3, publicly available exploit code exists (Exploit-DB 52183), enabling attackers to trigger UPS shutdown, reboot, bypass-switching, and battery tests against the protected infrastructure without any credentials.
Technical ContextAI
The NetMan 204 is a network management card used to remotely monitor and control Riello uninterruptible power supplies over HTTP, SNMP, and Modbus. The flaw is a classic CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function): administrative endpoints such as administration.html, administration-commands.html, and configuration.html are served by the embedded web interface without any session check, so the authentication layer that protects the login UI is not enforced on the underlying handlers. Because the same handlers expose LDAP credentials, user data, and UPS control primitives (shutdown, reboot, switch-on-bypass, battery test), an attacker who can reach the card's HTTP port effectively gains full administrative authority over the UPS.
RemediationAI
Apply the firmware update available from Riello's download portal at https://www.riello-ups.com/downloads/25-netman-204 - an exact patched firmware version is not enumerated in the provided data, so administrators should consult the vendor page and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/netman-204-missing-authentication-for-administrative-functions) for the fixed build number. Until patching is complete, restrict the NetMan 204 web management interface to a dedicated management VLAN or jump host using firewall ACLs (blocking inbound TCP/80 and TCP/443 from user, server, and internet networks); this preserves local administrative use but eliminates remote unauthenticated access. Additional compensating controls include placing the card behind an authenticating reverse proxy that enforces credentials before forwarding to administration*.html and configuration.html endpoints, and monitoring HTTP access logs for unauthenticated GETs to those paths, accepting that legitimate scripted integrations may need to be reconfigured to traverse the proxy.
