CVE-2026-1632 identifies a critical security flaw in the MOMA Seismic Station product by RISS SRL, specifically versions 2.4.2520 and earlier. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-306, indicating missing authentication for a critical function. The affected product exposes its web management interface without any authentication mechanism, allowing any network-based attacker to connect directly to the device’s administrative interface. This lack of authentication enables attackers to perform unauthorized actions such as modifying configuration settings, extracting sensitive seismic data, or remotely rebooting the device. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring any privileges or user interaction, as reflected in its CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N). The absence of authentication on a critical control interface poses a severe risk to the confidentiality and integrity of seismic data and device operation, although availability impact is not indicated. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the potential for misuse is high given the ease of exploitation and criticality of the targeted infrastructure. The vulnerability was published in early 2026 and remains unpatched as no vendor patch links are currently available. The MOMA Seismic Station is used in seismic monitoring networks to collect and analyze earthquake data, making it a vital component of early warning systems and scientific research.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and manipulation of seismic monitoring devices, resulting in compromised data integrity and confidentiality. Attackers could alter seismic data, potentially misleading emergency response and scientific analysis, or disrupt monitoring by remotely resetting devices. This could degrade the reliability of seismic early warning systems, posing risks to public safety and critical infrastructure. Additionally, unauthorized access to device configurations might allow attackers to establish persistent footholds or pivot to other network segments. The impact is particularly severe for organizations involved in disaster management, geological research, and infrastructure monitoring. Given the critical nature of seismic data in earthquake-prone regions of Europe, such as Italy, Greece, and Turkey, the threat could have significant operational and safety consequences. The lack of authentication also increases the risk of insider threats or opportunistic attackers exploiting exposed devices on poorly segmented networks.

Immediate mitigation steps include isolating the MOMA Seismic Station devices from public and untrusted networks by implementing strict network segmentation and access control lists (ACLs) to restrict access to trusted administrators only. Deploy VPNs or secure tunnels for remote management to ensure encrypted and authenticated access. Monitor network traffic for unusual access patterns to the device’s web interface. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should engage with RISS SRL for timelines on patch releases and apply updates promptly once released. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to detect and block unauthorized access attempts. Implement strong physical security controls to prevent local tampering. Regularly audit device configurations and logs to detect unauthorized changes. Finally, develop incident response plans tailored to potential exploitation scenarios involving these devices.
