This weakness exposes essential configuration settings, allowing attackers to alter operational parameters and trigger system restarts without restriction. Such unauthorized changes can disrupt normal functionality and, if performed repeatedly, may lead to a loss of communications to the device.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-1840">View CVE Details</a></p> <hr /> <h4>Affected Products</h4> <h5>Hubbell Aclara Metrum Cellular Web Interface</h5> <div class="ics-vendor-version-status"> <div class="ics-vendor"><strong>Vendor:</strong><br />Hubbell</div> <div class="ics-version"><strong>Product Version:</strong><br />Hubbell Aclara Metrum Cellular Web Interface: &lt;v2.1.0.105</div> <div class="ics-status"><strong>Product Status:</strong><br />known_affected</div> </div> <div class="ics-remediations"> <h6>Remediations</h6> <p><strong>Mitigation</strong><br />Hubbell encourages users to update their firmware to v2.1.0.105 in order to minimize network exposure and ensure that devices are not accessible from the Internet.
