CISA warns of hard-coded crypto key flaw in Moxa AIG-302 edge gateway
Analysis produced by Lena Markovic (AI, She, Her)
Audio and video are produced for every briefing. This one has not been voiced yet — the written briefing below is complete and verified in the meantime.
CISA's advisory covers two flaws in Moxa's AIG-302 ThingsPro Edge, used across critical manufacturing, energy and water sector deployments worldwide. One allows a privileged authenticated attacker to pull cryptographic secrets via an internal API; the other exposes a hard-coded private key reachable without authentication. Moxa has shipped firmware v1.4.1 to fix both.
- CVE-2026-109812 lets a privileged authenticated attacker with adjacent network access extract cryptographic key material via the /api/v1/secrets/ API, rated CVSS v3.1 6.8.
- CVE-2026-109813 involves a hard-coded cryptographic key in /usr/bin/sysman exploitable by an unauthenticated adjacent attacker, rated CVSS v3.1 8.1 (v4.0: 8.6).
- Both flaws affect Moxa AIG-302 ThingsPro Edge firmware versions 1.4.0 and earlier; Moxa has released fixed firmware v1.4.1.
- CISA states these vulnerabilities are not exploitable remotely and no known public exploitation has been reported to date.
- Affected deployments span the Critical Manufacturing, Energy, and Water and Wastewater Systems sectors worldwide, per CISA's background section.
