MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to (1) already hold a valid low-privileged authenticated session on the Moxa AIG-302 device, and (2) have adjacent (Layer-2 / same logical network segment, non-routable) network access to reach the internal /api/v1/secrets/ API - it is not exploitable from the open internet or by an unauthenticated party. The limiting factors are therefore the need for pre-existing credentials (PR:L) and network adjacency (AV:A); no user interaction and no special non-default configuration is required once those conditions hold, and impact is confined to confidentiality (disclosure of secrets/key material) with no integrity or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity broken access control issue (CWE-862, CVSS 4.0 base 6.9 / Medium) in Moxa's AIG-302 series industrial IoT gateways. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) consistently points to a constrained but impactful flaw: exploitation requires adjacent network position (AV:A, not fully remote) and an existing low-privileged authenticated session (PR:L), but once those preconditions are met the attack is low-complexity with no user interaction and yields high confidentiality impact (VC:H) with no integrity or availability effect. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the intelligence set, so there is no signal of active or probable near-term exploitation - this reads as a genuine data-exposure concern rather than a mass-exploitation emergency. The high-confidentiality impact is amplified by the specific disclosure of cryptographic key material, which could enable follow-on compromise, so it should not be dismissed purely on its Medium score. Signals are internally consistent; the main gap is the absence of exploitation-probability data (EPSS) and any confirmation of exploit availability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained low-privilege credentials on an AIG-302 gateway (or compromised a device on the same adjacent network segment) directly queries the internal /api/v1/secrets/ API, which fails to enforce authorization checks. The endpoint returns sensitive data including cryptographic key material, which the attacker then uses to decrypt traffic or impersonate the device. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; exploitation is constrained to adjacent network access rather than fully remote. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 16, 2026
Missing authorization in the internal /api/v1/secrets/ REST API of Moxa's AIG-302 series industrial computing gateways lets an attacker who already holds a valid low-privileged session on the device read secrets and cryptographic key material directly from that endpoint. Exploitation requires two preconditions: pre-existing valid credentials (PR:L) and adjacent, Layer-2 network access to reach the internal API (AV:A), so the flaw is not reachable from the open internet or by unauthenticated users. Impact is confidentiality-only - high-value disclosure of stored credentials and key material - with no integrity or availability effect, giving a moderate severity rating (CVSS 4.0 base 6.9 / Medium); no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is published alongside a related flaw, CVE-2026-109813, in Moxa advisory MPSA-262560.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; consult Moxa advisory MPSA-262560 (https://www.moxa.com/en/support/product-support/security-advisory/mpsa-262560-cve-2026-109812,-cve-2026-109813-vulnerabilities-in-industrial-computing-products) for the current fixed firmware and upgrade the AIG-302 series devices as soon as a release covering CVE-2026-109812 and CVE-2026-109813 is published. Until then, apply compensating controls that directly address the two exploitation prerequisites: eliminate adjacent-network reachability by placing the devices on a dedicated, tightly segmented OT VLAN with no cross-segment routing or peer access to the management/API plane (trade-off: this can disrupt legitimate engineering access and must be coordinated with plant network owners), and block or proxy requests to /api/v1/secrets/ at the segment boundary so the endpoint cannot be reached by low-privileged clients even from inside the same segment. Reduce the blast radius by auditing and rotating any cryptographic key material or credentials that may already have been exposed via the endpoint, and by minimizing the number of accounts granted even low-privileged sessions on these devices. Because the flaw is an internal-API authorization gap, monitor device and network logs for unexpected requests to /api/v1/secrets/ from non-management hosts and treat such activity as potential compromise; note that none of these workarounds fully substitutes for the vendor firmware fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the device exposes an internal REST endpoint, /api/v1/secrets/, that does not enforce authorization checks on the requesting identity, so any caller that can reach it - even one holding only low privileges - is served the underlying secret store. That store appears to include cryptographic key material and other confidential configuration, making the endpoint a high-value target for lateral movement or credential theft in OT/IoT deployments. The attack surface is deliberately narrow per the assessed vector: AV:A means the attacker must already be on the same logical/Layer-2 segment (a non-routable, adjacent position such as a shared switch, VLAN, or peer device), and PR:L means a valid low-privileged session must exist first; no user interaction (UI:N) and no non-default configuration are needed once those conditions hold. The product family is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:moxa:aig-302_series, placing the affected hardware in Moxa's AIG-302 industrial IoT gateway line; the tags 'Authentication Bypass' and 'Moxa / Aig 302 Series' align with a broken-access-control classification rather than memory corruption or injection.

DescriptionCVE.org
A missing authorization vulnerability exists in the internal API /api/v1/secrets/ of some of Moxa's industrial computing products. A low-privileged authenticated attacker with adjacent network access could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive information, potentially resulting in the disclosure of confidential data, including cryptographic key material.
