A Weak Cryptography for Passwords issue was discovered in General Electric (GE) Multilin SR 750 Feeder Protection Relay, firmware versions prior to Version 7.47; SR 760 Feeder Protection Relay, firmware versions prior to Version 7.47; SR 469 Motor Protection Relay, firmware versions prior to Version 5.23; SR 489 Generator Protection Relay, firmware versions prior to Version 4.06; SR 745 Transformer Protection Relay, firmware versions prior to Version 5.23; SR 369 Motor Protection Relay, all firmware versions; Multilin Universal Relay, firmware Version 6.0 and prior versions; and Multilin URplus (D90, C90, B95), all versions. Ciphertext versions of user passwords were created with a non-random initialization vector leaving them susceptible to dictionary attacks. Ciphertext of user passwords can be obtained from the front LCD panel of affected products and through issued Modbus commands.

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

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..
