Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to the Reyrolle 7SR5 session/management interface on a device running firmware below V2.70, and an active or predictable session to target; no credentials, privileges, or user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N). The limiting factor is attack complexity (AC:H): the attacker must predict or brute-force a low-entropy token across a feasible-but-nontrivial number of attempts, and must be able to reach the relay over the network - realistic exposure therefore depends heavily on whether the OT segment hosting the relay is isolated from attacker-reachable networks.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.1 reflects a network-reachable (AV:N), unauthenticated (PR:N), no-user-interaction (UI:N) attack with high confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:H/VI:H) but no availability impact (VA:N). Notably AC:H signals that exploitation is not trivial - brute-forcing or predicting the token requires a feasible-but-nontrivial number of attempts and network access to the relay's management interface, which in well-segmented OT/ICS environments is typically not internet-exposed. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public proof-of-concept, so this is a high-severity issue driven by impact and unauthenticated reach rather than by evidence of active exploitation; EPSS was not provided. Because the device sits in substation protection where a bypass could expose or alter protection settings, defenders - even a mid-sized municipal utility operator in opole running only a handful of these relays - should prioritize patching despite the AC:H friction, while recognizing the realistic risk is bounded by whether the relay's network interface is actually reachable by an attacker.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network reachability to the relay's management service repeatedly requests or predicts session identifiers, exploiting the small entropy space to land on a valid, active token within a feasible number of attempts. Using the guessed session ID, the attacker is treated as an authenticated user and accesses protected relay functions without credentials. No public PoC is currently known, and the AC:H rating reflects the brute-force effort required.

AnalysisAIv2 – Sep 08, 2026

Authentication bypass in Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 protection relays (all firmware versions below V2.70) stems from session identifiers generated with insufficient randomness, producing low-entropy tokens that a remote attacker can predict or brute-force. By deriving a valid session identifier, an unauthenticated attacker can impersonate a legitimate session and gain access to protected relay functions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the issue is fixed in V2.70 per Siemens advisory SSA-142885.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Sep 08, 2026 - 09:03 CVSS 7.4

Session identifier predictability in Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 protection relays exposes all versions prior to V2.70 to authentication bypass by unauthenticated remote attackers. The device generates session tokens using an algorithm with insufficient entropy, making the token space small enough to enumerate or predict within a feasible number of attempts-granting an attacker authenticated access to the relay management interface without valid credentials. Siemens has released firmware V2.70 to address this via advisory SSA-142885; no public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Reyrolle 7SR5 firmware to V2.70 or later, per Siemens advisory SSA-142885 (https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-142885.html). Where immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the relay's management interface to trusted engineering hosts only - place the device behind the substation firewall/VPN and block reachability from general IT or external networks, which directly removes the attacker's ability to reach the session endpoint at the cost of requiring jump-host access for legitimate operators. Follow Siemens' general OT hardening guidance (network segmentation, defense-in-depth per its operational-guidelines for industrial security); note these controls limit exposure but do not fix the underlying weak-token generation, so patching remains the durable remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Reyrolle 7SR5 is a digital protection relay used in electrical substations and power-distribution automation. The root cause is CWE-331 (Insufficient Entropy): the session-token generation algorithm draws from a source or algorithm that does not provide enough unpredictable bits, so the resulting session identifier occupies a small, guessable key space. When session IDs are the primary post-authentication trust anchor, low entropy collapses the effective authentication boundary - an attacker who can enumerate or predict the token inherits the authenticated user's session without ever presenting credentials. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:siemens:reyrolle_7sr5:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* across all versions prior to V2.70.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been identified in Reyrolle 7SR5 (All versions < V2.70). A session identifier is generated using an algorithm with insufficient randomness, resulting in a token with low entropy that can be predicted or brute-forced within a feasible number of attempts. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to derive valid session identifiers and bypass authentication.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 protection relays contain a critical authentication bypass flaw affecting all firmware versions before 2.70 that allows remote attackers without credentials to predict session identifiers and impersonate legitimate users. Organizations operating these relays face direct operational risk to critical infrastructure protection and must prioritize urgent patching to maintain equipment security and facility stability.
