Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation MELSEC iQ-R Series Safety CPU R08/16/32/120SFCPU all versions and MELSEC iQ-R Series SIL2 Process CPU R08/16/32/120PSFCPU all versions allows a remote authenticated attacker who has logged into the product as a non-administrator user to disclose the credentials (user ID and password) of a user with a lower access level than the attacker by sending a specially crafted packet.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.5, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), for affected systems. Impacting 16 products from mitsubishielectric, from mitsubishielectric, from mitsubishielectric and 13 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2024, 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 mitsubishielectric'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.
