CVE-2014-9198: Schneider Electric ETG3000 FactoryCast HMI Gateway Use of Hard-coded Credentials

The FTP server on the Schneider Electric ETG3000 FactoryCast HMI Gateway with firmware through 1.60 IR 04 has hardcoded credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via an FTP session.

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw means affected Schneider Electric ETG3000 FactoryCast HMI gateways include hard-coded FTP credentials. A remote attacker could gain FTP access without unique site credentials, creating serious confidentiality, integrity, and availability risk for connected industrial environments. Exposure is limited to organizations running listed ETG3000 models or firmware through 1.60 IR 04, especially where the gateway FTP service is reachable from untrusted networks. The bundle marks other versions as unaffected by default, but asset validation is needed. Prioritize this for any operational technology site using these gateways. Hard-coded credentials remove normal password control, and the CVSS 10.0 rating reflects potential full device compromise if reachable. Mitigation focus: Identify all Schneider Electric ETG3000 FactoryCast HMI gateways and firmware versions.; Check Schneider Electric and CISA advisory guidance before choosing remediation.; Remove FTP exposure from internet and untrusted networks where operationally feasible..

Use of Hard-coded Credentials

Use of Hard-coded Credentials represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
