CVE-2025-15620: CWE-306 Missing Authentication for Critical Function in Belden Hirschmann HiOS Switch Platform
HiOS Switch Platform versions 09.1.00 through 09.4.04 and 10.0.00 through 10.3.00 contain a denial-of-service vulnerability in the web interface that allows remote attackers to reboot the affected device by sending a malicious HTTP GET request to a specific endpoint. Attackers can trigger an uncontrolled reboot condition through crafted HTTP requests to cause service disruption and unavailability of the switch.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-15620 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.6) affecting the Belden Hirschmann HiOS Switch Platform. Versions 09.1.00 through 09.4.04 and 10.0.00 through 10.3.00 contain a missing authentication control (CWE-306) on a critical web interface function. This flaw enables remote attackers to trigger an uncontrolled reboot of the switch by sending a malicious HTTP GET request to a specific endpoint, resulting in denial of service and network disruption.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability leads to denial of service by remotely rebooting the affected switch devices without any authentication. This causes temporary loss of network connectivity and availability of the switch, potentially disrupting critical network operations.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix information is currently available. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict access to the device's web interface to trusted networks and users to reduce exposure.
