A high-severity vulnerability in a range of industrial recorders and data acquisition systems has been recognized in Yokogawa Electric Corporation. This flaw allows anyone with network access to manipulate the system settings and operational controls due to insecure default settings in their recorder products, where authentication is disabled by default. The attacker can manipulate measured values, alter system settings, and potentially compromise the integrity of critical operations. Possible impacts include incorrect measurements, data integrity compromise, downtime in production lines, and safety hazards in automated environments.
