Summary

CVE-2026-2400 is a medium-severity CRLF Injection (CWE-93) vulnerability in Schneider-Electric Powerchute Serial Shutdown. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Account Manipulation (T1098); ranked at the 14th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

CWE-93 Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection') vulnerability exists that could cause application user credentials to reset when a Web Admin user alters the POST /setPCBEDesc request payload.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1098 Account Manipulation Persistence
Adversaries may manipulate accounts to maintain and/or elevate access to victim systems.
Why these techniques?

CRLF injection in authenticated web admin endpoint directly enables unauthorized credential reset, mapping to account manipulation.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires validation and neutralization of untrusted inputs such as the POST /setPCBEDesc payload to block CRLF sequences before they reach credential-reset logic.

prevent

Enforces information-flow rules on HTTP request content, preventing injected CRLF sequences from altering response headers or triggering unintended credential-reset actions.

detect

Enables monitoring of web-admin POST requests for anomalous CRLF patterns or unexpected credential-reset events originating from /setPCBEDesc.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization and validation to block CRLF injection.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

detects

Security testing can detect CRLF flaws but does not itself implement the neutralization.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevents CRLF injection.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for neutralizing special characters such as CRLF in inputs.

prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage safe handling of untrusted data but do not prescribe specific CRLF controls.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require neutralization of CRLF sequences, fully addressing this weakness.
