This analysis discusses how AI is expanding the attack surface of critical infrastructure managed by state, local, and education (SLED) agencies. Cyber attackers often target under-resourced SLED organizations operating critical infrastructure such as water systems, hospitals, and emergency services. AI adoption by these agencies and adversaries' use of AI automation complicate security efforts. A whole-of-state cybersecurity approach, treating all local entities as a unified defensive perimeter, is recommended to mitigate risks. The report highlights concerns about aging operational technology, limited cyber staff in small communities, and unclear governance responsibilities. Attacks on smaller entities can have cascading effects on larger systems and public safety. Insider threats and excessive access privileges further increase risk. Nearly 90% of state CIOs rate cyberattacks on critical systems as a high concern.

No public exploits or known active exploitation have been reported. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.9 (medium severity).
Eaton easyE4 devices use a static nonce during authentication, which allows an unauthenticated attacker who can capture authentication traffic to replay valid authentication exchanges. This replay attack could lead to unauthorized access to the device.
An OS command injection vulnerability in a CoreTec product allows authenticated users with certain roles to execute arbitrary system commands. The flaw is in the configuration daemon's time synchronization handler, which unsafely concatenates user input when setting the system time-zone. This can lead to full control over the affected device. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.7 and requires authentication with limited privileges. No patch or remediation details are currently provided.
Eaton easySoft does not properly validate TLS certificates presented by easyE4 devices, allowing a network-adjacent attacker to potentially perform man-in-the-middle attacks. This vulnerability could enable interception or modification of communications between easySoft and easyE4 devices.
Eaton easyE4 devices implement an insufficiently strong password policy. This weakness allows an attacker who obtains password hashes, potentially via related vulnerabilities such as CVE-2026-41020, to conduct offline password-guessing attacks and possibly recover user credentials. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 7.5.
A vulnerability in github.com/eclipse-keypont/crypto11/v2 versions from 2.0.0-rc3 through 2.0.0-rc8 allows an attacker to compromise the confidentiality of shared secrets. The ML-KEM key-pair lookup functions do not verify that the public key matches the private key, enabling an attacker who can open an unauthenticated session and plant a public key object with victim identifiers to receive shared secrets intended for the victim. Versions prior to 2.0.0-rc3 and after 2.0.0-rc8, as well as v1 module paths, are not affected.
Dell PowerProtect Data Domain versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.7 (Feature Release), 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.80 (LTS2024), 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.40 (LTS2025), and 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.20 (LTS2026) contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to potentially perform SSRF attacks against the server.
The PuMuKIT application has an Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability that allows unauthenticated users to upload any file type to the server. This upload can occur in any directory where the web server user has write permissions, potentially enabling file deletion as well. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 8.8.
Eclipse ioFog iofogctl versions 1.0.0 through 3.7.0 and 3.8.0-rc.1 through 3.9.1 contain a vulnerability where the provisioning key and CA certificate returned by the Controller API are concatenated into shell commands executed on remote agent hosts. An attacker able to modify the API response can inject shell metacharacters, causing arbitrary command execution on the agent host when the operator deploys or attaches an agent. This issue is fixed in version 3.9.2.
Eclipse ioFog Operator versions 3.8.0 up to but not including 3.9.2 disable TLS certificate verification when contacting the Controller API and logging into an external OIDC issuer. This allows an on-path attacker to present any certificate and capture sensitive credentials such as the OAuth client secret or the Controller bootstrap admin password. These credentials can then be used to supply access tokens for subsequent Controller API calls.
TRO600 has a vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to bypass network access restrictions and access services intended only for localhost. By exploiting port forwarding, the attacker can interact with locally bound ports and services, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive functions and confidential data, as well as impacting availability.
TRO600 has an arbitrary file read vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to read or download arbitrary files on the device, including sensitive configuration and password data. This leads to disclosure of sensitive information. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 8.7. No affected versions or patch information are provided.
