AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Default-config endpoint is network-reachable with no auth (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); impact is data disclosure only, so C:H with I:N and A:N.

ANDRITZ HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA), in the default configuration of affected versions, exposes its data and configuration endpoint without any authentication and permissive CORS on every response. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can read live process values and server configuration.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in ANDRITZ HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA) lets any unauthenticated attacker with network reachability query the device's data and configuration endpoint, exposing live process values and full server configuration. The flaw stems from the default configuration shipping with no authentication and permissive CORS on every response, so no credentials or user interaction are required. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
HIPASE-250 is an ANDRITZ industrial protection/automation platform used in power-generation and substation environments (CPE cpe:2.3:a:andritz:hipase-250 and its predecessor cpe:2.3:a:andritz:250_scala). The root cause is CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function): a sensitive data/configuration API endpoint is served without any authentication gate. Compounding this, the device returns permissive Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers on every response, which additionally allows a victim's browser on a routable network to be leveraged to read responses cross-origin, widening the practical exposure of the already-open endpoint.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the available data, and the only reference is the vendor homepage (https://www.andritz.com/) rather than a dedicated advisory, so contact ANDRITZ to confirm a patched build. As compensating controls, restrict network access to the HIPASE-250 data/configuration endpoint using firewall or ACL rules so only authorized engineering workstations can reach it (trade-off: may disrupt legitimate monitoring integrations that currently poll the endpoint), place the device behind a segmented OT/ICS network or VPN per IEC 62443 zoning (trade-off: added operational overhead for remote access), and if the platform allows, tighten or disable the permissive CORS policy and enable any available authentication front-end/reverse proxy (trade-off: browser-based dashboards or cross-origin tooling relying on open CORS may break). Because integrity and availability are not affected, controls should prioritize confining who can read the endpoint.
