Last modified

CVE-2026-65313 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. A provisioning script used when installing HIPASE-250 (formerly 250 SCALA) engineering workstations sets a fixed, hard-coded x11vnc password. Because the same credential is applied to every workstation provisioned this way, an attacker with adjacent-network access who knows the password can gain VNC access to affected workstations.. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
