Summary
METZ CONNECT: Config API – Authentication bypass leads to admin takeover in EWIO2 series
Notes
Summary: A critical authentication bypass in EWIO-2 allows unauthenticated attackers with network access to gain administrative control over the device. Once compromised, an attacker can change configurations, manipulate data, disrupt services, and potentially render the device non-functional.
Impact: Due to these vulnerabilities an unauthenticated attacker can take over control of the device. The data integrity as well as the device availability could no longer be guaranteed.
Remediation: METZ CONNECT has released a new SW-Version 2.2.0. Install version 2.2.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Schedule the update at your next maintenance window. No workaround offers equivalent protection.
Product Description: Compact Ethernet I/O controller that bridges field signals to IP networks. It acts as a Modbus TCP or BACnet/IP server (plus Modbus RTU for field devices) and includes a web-based Node‑RED environment for simple logic, visualization, and data logging—ideal for building and industrial automation.
CVE-2025-41733

The commissioning wizard on the affected devices does not validate if the device is already initialized. An unauthenticated remote attacker can construct POST requests to set root credentials.
