CVE-2026-8072: Ingecon Sun EMS Board Weak Credential Generation Leading to Privilege Escalation
CVE-2026-8072 affects the local SAT (Technical Support) access function of the Ingecon Sun EMS Board. The secret access credentials were generated with a weak hashing algorithm rather than a secure cryptographic scheme, which could allow privilege escalation. The record provides no affected or fixed versions, and no confirmed exploitation appears in the sources consulted.
Overview
CVE-2026-8072 concerns the local SAT (Technical Support) access function of the Ingecon Sun EMS Board. According to the record, the secret credentials for this access were generated with a weak hashing algorithm instead of a sound cryptographic scheme, classified as CWE-327.
Impact
- The description states that an attacker could carry out a privilege escalation.
- The CVSS v4.0 base score of 9.2 (Critical) was assigned by INCIBE. Its vector indicates a network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability of the vulnerable system.
Affected products and versions
- The product named in the record is the Ingecon Sun EMS Board.
- The record lists no affected version ranges, so the affected versions are unknown from the data consulted.
Exploitation status
- The record shows the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV. No active exploitation is confirmed in the sources consulted.
- The record provides an EPSS probability of 0.00232 and a percentile of 0.12996.
Remediation and mitigation
- The record lists no fixed version. The absence of this data does not mean no fix exists, so check the INCIBE notice and the vendor for updates.
- Restrict access to the device's technical support functions to authorized personnel and limit its network exposure.
- Ask the vendor whether support-access credentials can be rotated or disabled, and follow its guidance.
Detection guidance
- Review device and access logs for unexpected logins to technical support or administrative functions.
- Monitor for changes in privileges, new accounts or unexpected configuration changes on the device.
Limitations of the available information
- Affected versions, fixed versions, vendor patches and details of the hashing scheme are not in the record.
- The description refers to local SAT access, while the CVSS vector indicates a network attack vector. The reason for this difference is unknown from the record.
- The second reference is listed without further detail.
