CVE-2025-1037: Hitachi Energy Tropos 4th Gen

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

By making minor configuration changes to the TropOS 4th Gen device, an authenticated user with the ability to run user level shell commands can enable access via secure shell (SSH) to an unrestricted root shell. This is possible through abuse of a particular set of scripts and executables that allow for certain commands to be run as root from an unprivileged context.

Affected products
