Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Network Segmentation: Isolate myREX24 devices from public or less trusted networks to limit exposure of the vulnerable endpoint.
Access Controls: Implement strict firewall rules to restrict access to the device management interfaces only to authorized IP addresses or VPNs.
Monitoring and Logging: Enable detailed logging on the devices and network perimeter to detect unusual enumeration attempts or repeated access patterns indicative of reconnaissance.
Credential Policies: Enforce strong, unique passwords and consider multi-factor authentication if supported by the device to reduce risk from credential stuffing or brute force attacks.
Vendor Engagement: Engage with Helmholz to obtain information on patches or firmware updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available.
Application Layer Gateway: Deploy reverse proxies or API gateways that can normalize responses and prevent observable discrepancies that enable username enumeration.
Incident Response Preparation: Prepare playbooks for responding to detected enumeration or brute force attempts, including account lockout policies and alerting mechanisms. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on network-level protections, proactive monitoring, and compensating controls until a patch is available.

Description

An unauthenticated remote attacker can enumerate valid user names from an unprotected endpoint.

Impact

For European organizations using Helmholz myREX24 devices, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to confidentiality. The ability to enumerate valid usernames remotely and without authentication exposes these organizations to increased risk of credential-based attacks. Since the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly, the immediate operational impact may be limited; however, the exposure of valid usernames can facilitate further exploitation, including unauthorized access if weak or reused passwords are present. This is particularly concerning for critical infrastructure, industrial control systems, or building automation systems where myREX24 devices are deployed, as unauthorized access could lead to espionage, data leakage, or indirect disruption of services. European organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, and facility management that rely on Helmholz products should be aware of this risk. Additionally, the lack of authentication requirement and low attack complexity means attackers can easily automate username enumeration at scale, increasing the threat surface.

CWE-204Observable Response Discrepancy (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
The product provides different responses to incoming requests in a way that reveals internal state information to an unauthorized actor outside of the intended control sphere.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
Implementation
Ensure that error messages only contain minimal details that are useful to the intended audience and no one else. The messages need to strike the balance between being too cryptic (which can confuse users) or being too detailed (which may reveal more than intended).
