High CVSS 8.1
CVE-2026-65313
NVD analysis in progress
A provisioning script used when installing HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA) engineering workstations sets a fixed, hard-coded x11vnc password. Because the same credential is applied to every workstation provisioned this way, an attacker with adjacent-network access who knows the password can gain VNC access to affected workstations.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable from the adjacent network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- Credentials are hard-coded in the product and identical across every installation.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
