Users will be able to manually download the firmware on their device by using the Firmware Update function in the System Menu in the device’s Web interface. Sinapsi has also posted a security newsletter to its public Web site http://www.sinapsitech.it/default.asp  .Other affected vendors have been notified by Sinapsi and ICS-CERT, but the availability of new firmware upgrades are unknown by ICS-CERT at this time.

Description login.php on the Sinapsi eSolar Light Photovoltaic System Monitor (aka Schneider Electric Ezylog photovoltaic SCADA management server), Sinapsi eSolar, and Sinapsi eSolar DUO with firmware before 2.0.2870_2.2.12 establishes multiple hardcoded accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain administrative access by leveraging a (1) cleartext password or (2) password hash contained in this script, as demonstrated by a password of astridservice or 36e44c9b64. These Sinapsi devices store hard-coded passwords in the PHP file of the device. By using the hard-coded passwords in the device, attackers can log into the device with administrative privileges. This could allow the attacker to have unauthorized access.
