CVE-2026-5846
The affected Watchfire Controller Software contains self-signed hard-coded RSA private keys and corresponding X.509 certificates used for authenticating and encrypting HTTPS/TLS connections to the controller's built-in web management interface. These keys are embedded in plaintext within the application patch binaries in the firmware directly from Watchfire's Remote Support filestore.

IACS Radar assessment
Our own interpretation and context for this vulnerability — not an official source.
IACS Radar priority score
Based on CVSS 5.7, EPSS 0.2%, industrial relevance 45/100; raised due to relevance to internet exposure.
Combines CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, industrial relevance and exposure relevance — a complement to, not a replacement for, the individual scores below and above.
Conditions for exploitation
Operational impact & energy relevance
Limited impact on availability; the risk lies mainly with confidentiality or integrity of process data.
No strong energy-sector-specific signals recognised; general OT/ICS relevance.
This product uses protocols that are relevant to internet exposure analysis. An internet-reachable service is not automatically vulnerable.
Recommended defensive measures
Industrial relevance score
Classification is provisional; manual verification by an OT security analyst is recommended.
