CVE-2026-100730: Grid Protection Alliance openPDC and openHistorian deserialization and authentication vulnerabilities

CVE-2026-100730 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.8 · Published 2026-10-09

Grid Protection Alliance openPDC and openHistorian are critical power grid monitoring and data archival systems used in industrial control environments. Five distinct vulnerabilities allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, bypass authentication, perform server-side request forgery attacks, and exploit hardcoded credentials, potentially leading to complete system compromise and disruption of power grid visibility and operations.

Technologies: Grid Protection Alliance openHistorian, Grid Protection Alliance openPDC, Grid Protection Alliance openPDC (Docker image). Vendors: Grid Protection Alliance.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: openPDC 2.9.477, 2.9.482; openPDC (Docker image) 2.9.477, 2.9.482; openHistorian 2.8.580, 2.8.585

Technical details

The vulnerabilities include unsafe deserialization of untrusted data, missing authentication controls on critical functions, SSRF, hardcoded credentials, and unsafe reflection allowing remote code execution. Affected versions prior to 2.9.477/2.9.482 (openPDC) and 2.8.580/2.8.585 (openHistorian) are vulnerable to network-based attacks without requiring prior authentication. Multiple CVEs collectively address these five distinct attack vectors in industrial control network software.
