CVE-2026-65313 PUBLISHED

Use of hard-coded VNC credentials in the engineering-workstation provisioning

Assigner: CyberDanube
Reserved: 21.07.2026 Published: 31.07.2026 Updated: 31.07.2026

A provisioning script used when installing HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA) engineering workstations sets a fixed, hard-coded x11vnc password. Because the same credential is applied to every workstation provisioned this way, an attacker with adjacent-network access who knows the password can gain VNC access to affected workstations.
