CVE-2025-24317

5.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions in affected HMI devices by exploiting resource allocation without limits. It affects HMI ViewJet C-more series and HMI GC-A2 series industrial control systems. Attackers can disrupt operations by overwhelming device resources.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • HMI ViewJet C-more series
  • HMI GC-A2 series
Versions: All versions prior to vendor patches
Operating Systems: Embedded/proprietary HMI OS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: These are industrial HMIs used in manufacturing and automation environments. Default configurations are vulnerable.

⚠️ 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

Complete device unavailability requiring physical reset or replacement, potentially disrupting industrial processes and causing production downtime.

🟠

Likely Case

Temporary service disruption requiring device reboot, causing operational delays in industrial environments.

🟢

If Mitigated

Minimal impact with proper network segmentation and monitoring allowing quick detection and response.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Remote unauthenticated exploitation makes internet-exposed devices particularly vulnerable to DoS attacks.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers or malware could still exploit this, but network segmentation reduces exposure.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

The vulnerability description suggests straightforward exploitation via resource exhaustion attacks without authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisories for specific firmware versions

Vendor Advisory: https://www.electronics.jtekt.co.jp/en/topics/202503207269/ and https://www.electronics.jtekt.co.jp/en/topics/202503207271/

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check current firmware version. 2. Download appropriate firmware update from JTEKT website. 3. Apply firmware update following vendor instructions. 4. Reboot device. 5. Verify update success.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate HMI devices in separate network segments with strict firewall rules

Access Control Lists

all

Implement network ACLs to restrict access to HMI devices to authorized IPs only

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to HMI devices
  • Deploy network monitoring and intrusion detection systems to detect DoS attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device firmware version against vendor advisories. Devices running unpatched firmware are vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check device web interface or use vendor-specific tools to query firmware version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version matches patched versions listed in vendor advisories and test device functionality.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual resource consumption patterns
  • Multiple connection attempts from single sources
  • Device restart logs

Network Indicators:

  • High volume of requests to HMI ports
  • Traffic patterns suggesting resource exhaustion attempts

SIEM Query:

source_ip:external AND dest_port:HMI_port AND event_count > threshold
