ST Engineering iDirect iQ-Series Terminals (Update A)

CISA advisory details four flaws in ST Engineering iDirect iQ-Series VSAT terminals <=4.5.2.1, enabling device data theft, CSRF-driven reboots, and local privilege escalation.

CISA's Update A to ICSA-26-183-01 covers ST Engineering iDirect iQ-Series, 3315-Series and 9-Series terminals at firmware <=4.5.2.1, deployed across communications, defense, energy and transportation. CVE-2026-38059 exposes unauthenticated /api/identity and /api/ endpoints leaking serial number, DID, TPK, MAC address and firmware version, potentially enabling terminal impersonation; CVE-2026-38057 is a CSRF flaw letting an attacker force terminal reboots and satellite link loss via /api/reboot. CVE-2026-38056 enables local privilege escalation using the factory-configured technician account (CVSS 3.1 8.8, CVSS 4.0 9.4), and CVE-2026-38058 exposes crackable MD5-crypt root password hashes. All four flaws were reported to CISA by Ahmed Alqahtani of Aramco.

US agencies warn of AI-powered attacks on Siemens industrial controllers

NSA, CISA, FBI, DOE, and EPA warn threat actors use AI-assisted scripts and snap7 libraries to access internet-exposed Siemens S7 PLCs in critical infrastructure sectors.

NSA, CISA, FBI, DOE, and EPA issued a joint advisory warning that threat actors combine open-source snap7.dll/python-snap7 libraries with AI-generated scripts to gain read/write access to Siemens S7-200 through S7-1500 PLCs over the S7comm protocol. Actors use Censys and ZoomEye to find internet-exposed devices and abuse default or weak credentials, with activity assessed as persistent reconnaissance and positioning for future write operations. Agencies urge device inventory, patching, removing PLCs from the internet, and hardening; the pattern resembles Iran-linked CyberAv3ngers targeting of Rockwell, Schneider, and Siemens PLCs.

Tycon Systems TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3

CISA reports three flaws (hard-coded credentials, CSRF, missing authorization) in Tycon TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 <=2.2.9 enabling MitM, credential theft, or device resets.

CISA published ICSA-26-246-08 for Tycon Systems TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 versions 2.2.9 and prior, covering CVE-2026-77847 (use of hard-coded credentials, CWE-798), CVE-2026-82712 (CSRF, CWE-352), and CVE-2026-82684 (missing authorization, CWE-862). Exploitation could enable man-in-the-middle attacks, factory resets, credential wiping, or extraction of system credentials, configurations, and flash contents; the CSRF issue scores CVSS 8.8. No public exploitation has been reported; CISA recommends isolating devices from business networks.
