Security readout for executives and security teams
Some GE Multilin protective relays stored password ciphertext using weak cryptography. Because the encryption used a non-random initialization vector, someone who can obtain the ciphertext may attempt offline dictionary attacks against user passwords. Exposure is most likely where affected relays are physically accessible or reachable over Modbus by unauthorized users. Internet exposure is not stated in the sources. Prioritize sites where these relays protect critical electrical assets and are reachable by broader operational networks or shared physical spaces. Mitigation focus: Upgrade SR 750 and SR 760 firmware to Version 7.47 or later.; Upgrade SR 469 and SR 745 firmware to Version 5.23 or later.; Upgrade SR 489 firmware to Version 4.06 or later..
