  • •Multiple vulnerabilities found in Danfoss AK-SM 800A controllers.
  • •Vulnerabilities include remote code execution and command injection flaws.
  • •Danfoss has released a firmware update to address these issues.

Team82 identified multiple vulnerabilities in the Danfoss AK-SM 800A refrigeration controllers, which are widely used in supermarkets and cold-storage facilities. The vulnerabilities include a hidden 'code-of-the-day' authentication mechanism, a command-injection flaw leading to remote code execution, and an issue allowing arbitrary Nginx configuration directive injection. Thousands of these devices were found to have publicly accessible management interfaces. Danfoss has since addressed these vulnerabilities in a new firmware version. The vulnerabilities were disclosed on October 12, 2026, and are significant due to the potential operational impact on refrigeration management systems. The research highlights the risks associated with undocumented functionalities and insecure command constructions.
