What to do
AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately assess physical security controls around Kapsch RIS-9160 and RIS-9260 RSUs to prevent unauthorized physical access. Implement strict BIOS password policies enforcing complex, unique passwords for Supervisor and User accounts to mitigate brute-force attempts. Where possible, enable account lockout or delay mechanisms after multiple failed login attempts to hinder brute-force attacks. Monitor RSU devices for signs of tampering or unauthorized access. Coordinate with Kapsch TrafficCom for firmware updates or patches addressing this vulnerability and plan timely deployment once available. Consider network segmentation and limiting physical access to RSUs to trusted personnel only. Employ hardware security modules or tamper-evident seals to detect physical interference. Regularly audit BIOS configurations and maintain an inventory of devices and their firmware versions to prioritize remediation efforts. Additionally, integrate RSU security monitoring into broader traffic management cybersecurity frameworks to detect anomalous behavior early.
Description
Kapsch TrafficCom RIS-9160 & RIS-9260 Roadside Units (RSUs) v3.2.0.829.23, v3.8.0.1119.42, and v4.6.0.1211.28 were discovered to lack secure password requirements for its BIOS Supervisor and User accounts, allowing attackers to bypass authentication via a bruteforce attack.
