\"enphase<\/p>\n

In June, we wrote about a security vulnerability an anonymous researcher had discovered in Enphase\u2019s solar inverter communications gateway and installer app.<\/p>\n

As we said in June<\/a>, the communications gateway bug was the most serious since it would theoretically let an attacker take control of the gateway:<\/p>\n

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

Meanwhile, the Installer Toolkit app \u2013 which installers use to register a new build with Enphase \u2013 could give an attacker access to the information available in the app.<\/p>\n

At the time, no fix was available, meaning the only option to keep the systems safe was disconnecting them from the Internet.<\/p>\n

On Friday, some good news arrived for Enphase<\/a> installers and customers, with the company publishing fixes for the two bugs.<\/p>\n

The Enphase advisory for its IQ Gateway 7.0.88<\/a> says the system can be patched by installing embedded software version 7.3.130\/7.6.175 or newer.<\/p>\n

SolarQuotes asked Jake Warner from Penrith Solar Centre<\/a> (Enphase Installer of the year<\/a> 2023) what consumers should do to install the update and double-check their firmware version:<\/p>\n

“Because Enphase systems are always connected, they are constantly updated. Kind of like when you get in a Tesla, and it\u2019s had a little overnight update.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If an Enphase system owner wants to check, they can do so via their Enphase App:
\nMenu<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

-System
\n–Devices
\n—Gateway<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It will then tell them what version of Firmware they have. The latest update version is 7.6.175.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For solar installers<\/a>, the Installer Toolkit bug was that a developer left behind credentials \u2013 their user ID and password \u2013 hard-coded in the software. If someone discovered those credentials, they could log into the app.<\/p>\n

The Toolkit app has now been upgraded<\/a> in both the Apple and Google Play stores, from version 3.27.0 to version 3.30.1 or newer, which revokes the hard-coded credentials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
