Inclusion of Undocumented Features
Inclusion of undocumented features vulnerability accessible when logged on with a privileged access level on the following Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories relays could allow the relay to behave unpredictably: SEL-700BT Motor Bus Transfer Relay, SEL-700G Generator Protection Relay, SEL-710-5 Motor Protection Relay, SEL-751 Feeder Protection Relay, SEL-787-2/-3/-4 Transformer Protection Relay, SEL-787Z High-Impedance Differential Relay . See product instruction manual appendix A dated 20240308 for more details regarding the SEL-751 Feeder Protection Relay. For more information for the other affected products, see their instruction manuals dated 20240329.

Remediation
Which version to upgrade to
Fix versions compiled from the vendor, package registries and Microsoft. Verify the vendor's note before upgrading.
No fix version is recorded for this entry. Check the references for vendor advisories.
Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.
FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).
Patch and commit links
Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.
No commit or PR link among the references.

Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
