CVE-2024-31069

7.4 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2024-31069 is a default credential vulnerability in IO-1020 Micro ELD web servers that allows attackers to gain administrative access using factory-set passwords. This affects all IO-1020 Micro ELD devices with web server functionality enabled. Organizations using these devices for electronic logging in transportation are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • IO-1020 Micro ELD
Versions: All versions with web server functionality
Operating Systems: Embedded system
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Vulnerability exists when the web server component is enabled and default credentials have not been changed.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full compromise of the ELD system allowing manipulation of driver logs, location data, and potentially disabling compliance monitoring, leading to regulatory violations and safety risks.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to driver logs and vehicle data, potential manipulation of hours-of-service records, and exposure of sensitive operational information.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if strong network segmentation and access controls prevent external access to the web interface.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web servers exposed to the internet can be easily discovered and exploited using default credentials.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers or compromised internal systems could exploit this, but requires network access to the device.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires only knowledge of default credentials and network access to the web interface.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: N/A

Vendor Advisory: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-24-093-01

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Change default passwords on all IO-1020 Micro ELD devices. 2. Disable web server if not required. 3. Implement network segmentation to restrict access.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Change Default Credentials

all

Immediately change all default passwords on IO-1020 Micro ELD devices to strong, unique passwords.

Access web interface > Administration > Change Password

Disable Web Server

all

Disable the web server functionality if remote access is not required for operations.

Access device configuration > Network Settings > Disable Web Server

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate ELD devices from untrusted networks
  • Deploy network access controls to restrict connections to ELD web interfaces

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Attempt to authenticate to the IO-1020 web interface using default credentials (check vendor documentation for defaults).

Check Version:

Check device information page in web interface or consult device documentation.

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that default credentials no longer work and only authorized credentials provide access.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful authentication
  • Authentication from unexpected IP addresses

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to ELD web interface from unauthorized networks
  • Traffic patterns indicating credential guessing

SIEM Query:

source="io-1020" AND (event_type="authentication" AND result="success") AND user="default"
