CVE-2026-11796: CWE-306 Missing authentication for critical function in Hitachi Energy Asset Suite
Asset Suite allows unauthenticated users to access PropertiesReloadServlet, CacheFlushServlet, MetadataCacheFlushServlet and ResourceBundleReloadServlet, which could result in denial-of-service conditions affecting application availability. These servlets are designed to perform specific functions within production environment depending on how the Asset Suite application is configured.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-11796 in Hitachi Energy Asset Suite affects versions from 9.6.0 up to and including 9.9.0. It involves missing authentication controls on critical servlets such as PropertiesReloadServlet, CacheFlushServlet, MetadataCacheFlushServlet, and ResourceBundleReloadServlet. These servlets are intended to perform specific operational functions depending on the Asset Suite configuration. Because they are accessible without authentication, an unauthenticated attacker could invoke these servlets, potentially causing denial-of-service conditions that affect the availability of the application.
Potential Impact
An attacker can access critical servlets without authentication, potentially causing denial-of-service conditions that degrade or disrupt the availability of the Asset Suite application. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity impact. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected servlets through network controls or application-level protections to prevent unauthenticated access.
