CVE-2011-4509
Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—
The HMI web server in Siemens WinCC flexible 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2008; WinCC V11 (aka TIA portal); the TP, OP, MP, Comfort Panels, and Mobile Panels SIMATIC HMI panels; WinCC V11 Runtime Advanced; and WinCC flexible Runtime has an improperly selected default password for the administrator account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force approach involving many HTTP requests.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 10
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.98%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 80
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
