********************************************************************************

Vulnerability Details:

The management interface of the SENEC.Inverter is publicly accessible via the
Internet. This circumstance is recommended by the manufacturer and customers are
advised to open the necessary ports to enable remote maintenance.
As a result, anyone who manages to detect and successfully exploit security
vulnerabilities in SENEC.Inverter, for instance the authors of this report, can
access and compromise all devices available on the internet without
restrictions. To achieve this,it is possible to use an IoT search engine such as
Shodan to automatically obtain an up-to-date list of IP addresses of all devices
in just a few seconds.

Besides Shodan, there are other IoT search engines such as Censys or ZoomEye to
complement the list even further.
Consequently, it is very easy for an attacker to develop an exploit script for
the automated compromise of all SENEC.Inverter devices, e.g. to simul-
taneously shut down all appliances or to damage them through a targeted
overload. For this purpose, only the hard-coded credentials previously
identified in findings CVE-2023-39168 and CVE-2023-39169 need to be used in
conjunction with SENEC.Inverter’s built-in API.

********************************************************************************

Proof of Concept (PoC):

The attack consists of the following steps:

1. use the shodan dork to obtain management-interfaces.
(no longer valid, patched by manufacturer)
