MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Persistence, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Adjacent network access to the TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 device is required - the attacker must be on the same network segment or reachable LAN. No authentication, user interaction, or special device configuration is needed beyond network reachability; the hardcoded credentials are present in all devices running firmware v2.2.9 or earlier regardless of deployment configuration. Exploitation is limited by the AV:A constraint: devices isolated from untrusted networks via strict OT segmentation are not reachable by external attackers. The impact is read-only (VC:H, VI:N, VA:N), meaning the attacker can extract sensitive data but cannot modify device configuration or cause an outage through this vulnerability alone. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with vector AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N reflects a realistic threat model: high confidentiality impact, no integrity or availability impact, and constrained to adjacent-network attackers. For ICS/OT environments, AV:A is a meaningful limitation since these devices are typically not internet-exposed, but internal threats or pivot attacks from a compromised IT network are plausible. The AC:L rating confirms trivial exploitation once network adjacency is achieved - no race conditions, no complex sequencing. No KEV listing and no public exploit have been identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS signal is unavailable; however, the ICS-CERT provenance and CISA advisory elevate credibility. For organizations with TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 units in mixed IT/OT environments or remote-access-enabled industrial networks, real-world risk is meaningfully higher than the raw score implies. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with access to the industrial LAN - via a compromised workstation, a rogue device, or an IT/OT network bridge - extracts the hardcoded credentials from a publicly available firmware image or published analysis. The attacker then authenticates to the TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 management interface using these credentials, gaining access to power monitoring telemetry, device configuration, and potentially stored network or system credentials. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low technical barrier (credential extraction from a downloadable firmware binary) makes independent rediscovery straightforward. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 04, 2026
Hard-coded credentials in Tycon Systems TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 firmware versions 2.2.9 and prior expose the device to unauthorized access from network-adjacent attackers. An attacker with access to the same network segment can leverage the embedded credentials - extractable from the firmware binary - to authenticate to the device and retrieve sensitive configuration data, credentials, or monitoring telemetry. CISA issued ICS advisory ICSA-26-246-08 for this vulnerability; no active exploitation has been identified, and firmware v2.4.2 is available as a remediation.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Tycon Systems TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 firmware v2.4.2, available via the vendor firmware server referenced in CISA advisory ICSA-26-246-08 (icsa-26-246-08.json on CISA's CSAF repository). The firmware image is distributed as both a .tfw package and a .hex binary for different flashing methods. Until patched, compensating controls should include network segmentation isolating TPDIN devices to a dedicated OT VLAN with no direct IT-network routing, disabling remote management interfaces if not operationally required, and deploying IDS rules to detect authentication attempts using known-default or hardcoded credential patterns against the device. Note that segmentation alone does not eliminate risk from insider threats or already-compromised internal hosts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 is a Tycon Systems DIN-rail power monitoring device used in industrial and OT environments, communicating over local networks. CWE-798 (Use of Hard-Coded Credentials) describes a class of firmware defect where static credentials - passwords, cryptographic keys, or API tokens - are compiled into the firmware image, making them recoverable through binary analysis. Because the credentials cannot be changed by end users and are uniform across all devices running the affected firmware, a single credential extraction attack applies universally to all deployed units running v2.2.9 or earlier. The CVSS 4.0 vector specifies AV:A (Adjacent Network), confirming exploitation requires proximity to the device's network segment - consistent with typical OT flat-network deployments.

DescriptionCVE.org
Tycon Systems TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 versions 2.2.9 and prior are vulnerable to a use of hard-coded credential vulnerability. This could allow an attacker to intercept sensitive information or credentials.
Executive ViewAI
Tycon Systems TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 devices running firmware version 2.2.9 and earlier contain hard-coded credentials that enable network-adjacent attackers to authenticate and extract sensitive monitoring configuration and credentials. This exposes critical infrastructure monitoring systems to unauthorized access, surveillance, and potential configuration manipulation. CISA advisory ICSA-26-246-08 has been issued, and patched firmware version 2.4.2 is available for immediate deployment.
