This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against GE MDS. A successful exploit can lead to remote code execution.
GE Digital Energy MDS PulseNET and MDS PulseNET Enterprise before 3.1.5 have hardcoded credentials for a support account, which allows remote attackers to obtain administrative access, and consequently execute arbitrary code, by leveraging knowledge of the password.
