XSS Can Take Down Your IoT Wind Turbine (softpedia.com)

An anonymous reader writes: ISC-CERT is warning of a critical vulnerability (score 9.8 out of 10) in Internet-enabled XZERES 442SR wind turbines. According to CERT, the Web administration portal of these portals is subject to the simplest XSS attacks (modifying IDs for admin access), which even the most basic n00b-level hackers can perform. This is yet another security bug in critical IoT equipment, like the Midas gas detector.
