CPA2026-057: Vulnerabilities Affecting IRISPowerscan

November 4, 2026

Vulnerabilities have been identified in IRISPowerscan relating to default user accounts with predictable credentials (CVE-2026-94459), insecure default privilege assignment (CVE-2026-94460), and insufficient restriction of untrusted scripts (CVE-2026-95649). 

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities would require an attacker to have access to the local network (adjacent network). Depending on which of the vulnerabilities is exploited (see below for further detail), an attack could potentially result in unauthorized access to application functionality, unauthorized modification of application data or configuration, access to privileged functionality, or arbitrary code execution. The existing IRISPowerscan Security White Paper outlines steps to mitigate predictable credentials and insecure default privilege assignment vulnerabilities.

Affected Versions

IRISPowerscan: Version 12.3 and earlier.

Remediation/Mitigation
