\"a<\/p>\n

SolarQuotes readers may not be familiar with America\u2019s Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), so let me introduce you: CISA is the operational lead for American cybersecurity, collaborating with other organisations like the National Security Agency, the FBI, and international cyber security agencies.<\/p>\n

One of its roles is to publish advisories alerting industry and users to security issues in critical infrastructure systems, and this week, CISA published two warnings relevant to Enphase<\/a> products: the Envoy communication gateway<\/a>, and the Installer Tookit<\/a> Android app.<\/p>\n

As Enphase puts it<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\u201cthe Enphase Envoy is a communications gateway that collects information about how your system is performing and transmits that information over the Internet to MyEnlighten.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The problem for customers and the industry is that one version of the Envoy, D7.0.88, has a security bug that could let an attacker take over control of the gateway. As CISA puts it:<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccessful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain root access to the affected product.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cRoot access\u201d are the key words here: it means someone can, over the Internet, execute Envoy commands as if they had full access to the product.<\/p>\n

So far, CISA said, Enphase hasn\u2019t responded to requests that it work with the agency.<\/p>\n

Until the company patches the software, CISA recommends systems be blocked from using the Internet \u2013 which means it can\u2019t send data to the MyEnlighten system.<\/p>\n

Installer Toolkit<\/h2>\n

The Installer Toolkit is an Android app that gathers site and system data when installers are configuring a new customer. Enphase describes it as a prerequisite<\/a> for Ensemble installations.<\/p>\n

CISA\u2019s advisory said a security researcher identified only by the pseudonym \u201cOBSWCY3F\u201d found that versions prior to 3.27.0 have \u201chardcoded credentials\u201d \u2013 in other words, the app comes with a user account where user name and password are written into the software.<\/p>\n

The risk, CISA said, is information disclosure \u2013 that information stored in the app could be available to a successful attacker.<\/p>\n

As well as not exposing the app to the Internet \u2013 which is a tough call! \u2013 CISA says users should get in touch with Enphase for support.<\/p>\n

Infosec is Important<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s more than two years since we first remarked that the solar industry needs to take cyber security seriously<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Australia, security regulation is looming.<\/p>\n

To date, laws like the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act haven\u2019t been applied to home solar PV installations, but there is at the very least, the possibility of SoCI regulation in the future.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the government is consulting about cyber security regulation<\/a>, a consultation that could bring new commonwealth cyber security legislation.<\/p>\n

Which makes this a good time for the industry to work out how to deal with cyber security in products and services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
