July 15, 2025 CISA ICS Advisory

Summary

Hitachi Energy is aware multiple vulnerabilities that affects the Asset Suite product versions listed below. If these vulnerabilities are successfully exploited by an attacker, it could have an impact on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the product. Please refer to the Recommended Immediate Actions for information about the mitigation/remediation. CVE-2025-1484: A vulnerability exists in the media upload component of the Asset Suite versions listed below. If successfully exploited an attacker could impact the confidentiality or integrity of the system. An attacker can use this vulnerability to construct a request that will cause JavaScript code supplied by the attacker to execute within the user’s browser in the context of that user’s session with the application. CVE-2025-2500: A vulnerability exists in the SOAP Web services of the Asset Suite versions listed below. If successfully exploited, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to the product and the time window of a possible password attack could be expanded. CVE-2019-9262: A vulnerability exists in the MPEG4Extractor component of the media extractor. If successfully exploited, an attacker could trigger an out-of-bounds write, potentially leading to remote code execution. CVE-2019-9429: A vulnerability exists in the profman component due to memory corruption.

General Mitigation Factors/Workarounds: Recommended security practices and firewall configurations can help protect a process control network from attacks that originate from outside the network. Such practices include that process control systems are physically protected from direct access by unauthorized personnel, have no direct connections to the Internet, and are separated from other networks by means of a firewall system that has a minimal number of ports exposed, and others that have to be evaluated case by case. Process control systems should not be used for Internet surfing, instant messaging, or receiving e-mails. Portable computers and removable storage media should be carefully scanned for viruses before they are connected to a control system.
