  • Equipment: CS5000 Fire Panel
  • Vulnerabilities: Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default, Use of Hard-coded Credentials

2. RISK EVALUATION

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to gain high-level access to and remotely operate the device, potentially putting it into a non-functional state.

3. TECHNICAL DETAILS

3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS

The following Consilium Safety product is affected:

  • CS5000 Fire Panel: All versions

3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

3.2.1 INITIALIZATION OF A RESOURCE WITH AN INSECURE DEFAULT CWE-1188

The CS5000 Fire Panel is vulnerable due to a default account that exists on the panel. Even though it is possible to change this by SSHing into the device, it has remained unchanged on every installed system observed. This account is not root but holds high-level permissions that could severely impact the device’s operation if exploited.

CVE-2025-41438 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

4. MITIGATIONS

National Instruments recommends users update to version 14.3.1 or later.

Please see National Instruments security update for more information.

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this these vulnerabilities, such as:

  • Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.
  • Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.
  • When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.

CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.

Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.

  • Please configure the PCs with the affected product installed so that only an administrator can log in.
  • PCs with the affected product installed should be configured to block remote logins from untrusted networks and hosts, and from non-administrator users.
  • Block unauthorized access by using a firewall or virtual private network (VPN), etc., and allow remote login only to administrators when connecting the PCs with the affected product installed to the Internet.
  • Restrict physical access to the PC with the affected product installed and the network to which the PC is connected to prevent unauthorized physical access.
  • Do not click on web links in emails from untrusted sources. Also, do not open attachments in untrusted emails.
