Johnson Controls Inc. TL280
View CSAF Summary Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to access sensitive information on the device. The following versions of Johnson Controls Inc. TL280 are affected: TL280 <5.63 CVSS Vendor Equipment Vulnerabilities v3 4.1 Johnson Controls Inc. Johnson Controls Inc. TL280 Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm Background Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Critical Manufacturing, Commercial Facilities, Government Services and Facilities, Transportation Systems, Energy Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide Company Headquarters Location: Ireland Vulnerabilities Expand All + CVE-2026-27871 Hardcoded credentials refer to usernames, passwords, or other authentication information that are embedded directly into the source code of a firmware file. These credentials are often used to access system login and other areas of an application. View CVE Details Affected Products Johnson Controls Inc. TL280 Vendor: Johnson Controls Inc. Product Version: Johnson Controls Inc. TL280: <5.63 Product Status: known_affected Remediations Vendor fix To help reduce the risk of exploitation, Johnson Control suggests considering the following defensive measures: Apply firmware update 5.63. Mitigation Johnson Controls suggests the following defensive measures: Restrict network access to affected cameras to trusted management VLANs only - do not expose these devices directly to the internet or untrusted network segments. Mitigation Monitor device access logs for any anomalous authentication activity. Mitigation Rotate any shared or downstream credentials that may have been derived from or associated with the hard-coded values. Mitigation Implement network segmentation and place ICS/SCADA devices and systems behind firewalls, isolating them from the business network. Mitigation When remote access is required, use secure methods such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be kept up to date. Mitigatio
