Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-22618 is a security misconfiguration vulnerability in Eaton Intelligent Power Protector (IPP) software, where an HTTP response header is set with an insecure attribute. This flaw potentially exposes users to web-based attacks and affects versions of Eaton IPP prior to the latest release. The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.9 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N) and is associated with CWE-358.
Remote attackers with no privileges can exploit this vulnerability over the network, though it requires high attack complexity and user interaction. Successful exploitation enables limited confidentiality impact alongside high integrity impact, allowing attackers to potentially modify data in web-based attacks targeting affected IPP instances.
Eaton's security bulletin (ETN-VA-2025-1025) confirms the issue has been fixed in the latest version of IPP software, available for download from the Eaton download center. Security practitioners should update to the patched version to mitigate the risk.
