Emerson Multiple RTUs Hardcoded Credentials Storage

critical Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 720176

Synopsis

Multiple Emerson RTUs have the same credentials for all units and store them hardcoded in ROM.

Description

The Emerson Process Management ROC800 RTU with software 3.50 and earlier, DL8000 RTU with software 2.30 and earlier, and ROC800L RTU with software 1.20 and earlier have hardcoded credentials in a ROM, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain shell access to the underlying OS by leveraging knowledge of the ROM contents from a product installation elsewhere.

Solution

Perform vendor recommended mitigations and apply available vendor upgrades.
