Summary
CVE-2026-71379 is a critical vulnerability (CVSS v3.1 score of 10.0) affecting Toptech Systems’ TMS7 and TopHAT products, both at version 7.6.3. The flaw allows any unauthenticated attacker to export arbitrary database tables via a crafted POST request to the product’s file export endpoint, resulting in full disclosure of sensitive backend data. Toptech Systems TMS7 and TopHAT are used in industrial/critical-infrastructure environments, including the Energy, Chemical, and Transportation Systems sectors, deployed worldwide.
Technical details
- Root cause: The file export functionality on TMS7/TopHAT lacks any authentication or access-control check before returning database content.
- Trigger condition: An attacker sends a crafted POST request to the file export endpoint; no credentials, session, or prior interaction are required.
- Attack vector: Network — the endpoint is reachable over the network without authentication (AV:N, PR:N, UI:N).
- Impact: Arbitrary database tables can be exported, exposing confidential data. The CVSS vector (
AC:L/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects low attack complexity, a scope change, and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. - Classification: CWE-552 (Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties).
Affected software
- Toptech Systems TMS7 — version 7.6.3
- Toptech Systems TopHAT — version 7.6.3
- Versions 7.8 and later are not affected.
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 10.0 (Critical)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Upgrade Toptech Systems TMS7 and TopHAT to version 7.8 or later, which addresses this issue.
- If no patch can be immediately applied:
- Minimize network exposure of TMS7/TopHAT systems and ensure they are not directly accessible from the internet.
- Place control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks.
- Where remote access is required, use secure methods such as a VPN, and keep the VPN itself patched and up to date.
