Technical description

A vulnerability was identified in MEPIS RM, an industrial

software product developed by Metronik. The application contained a hardcoded

cryptographic key within the Mx.Web.ComponentModel.dll component. When the

option to store domain passwords was enabled, this key was used to encrypt user

passwords before storing them in the application’s database. An attacker with

sufficient privileges to access the database could extract the encrypted

passwords, decrypt them using the embedded key, and gain unauthorized access to

the associated ICS/OT environment.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
