Insecure Boot Image vulnerability in Hitachi Energy Relion Relion 670/650/SAM600-IO series allows an attacker who manages to get access to the front network port and to cause a reboot sequences of the device may exploit the vulnerability, where there is a tiny time gap during the booting process where an older version of VxWorks is loaded prior to application firmware booting, could exploit the vulnerability in the older version of VxWorks and cause a denial-of-service on the product. This issue affects: Hitachi Energy Relion 670 Series 2.2.2 all revisions; 2.2.3 versions prior to 2.2.3.3. Hitachi Energy Relion 670/650 Series 2.2.0 all revisions; 2.2.4 all revisions. Hitachi Energy Relion 670/650/SAM600-IO 2.2.1 all revisions.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.1, requiring local system access to exploit but requires specific conditions to be met without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 6 products from hitachienergy, from hitachienergy, from hitachienergy and 3 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2021, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For hitachienergy's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
