CVE-2022-30262 describes a critical firmware integrity vulnerability in Emerson ControlWave 'Next Generation' RTUs, including the Micro and PAC models, affecting versions through May 2, 2022. The vulnerability stems from the BSAP-IP protocol's use of unauthenticated firmware updates, relying solely on insecure checksums rather than robust cryptographic signing. This flaw carries a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8 (High), indicating a local attack vector with low complexity, allowing an authenticated attacker to achieve high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
