CVE-2019-14930 describes a critical vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. ME-RTU devices (through 2.02) and INEA ME-RTU devices (through 3.0). This flaw involves undocumented hard-coded passwords for multiple user accounts (root, ineaadmin, mitsadmin, maint), allowing unauthorized access. The vulnerability is rated 9.8 Critical (CVSSv3.1) due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, further exacerbated by insecure sudoers entries enabling privilege escalation for some accounts. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the FAUCET Risk Score of 78/100 indicates a substantial inherent risk.
