Introduction
The iZOOlogic Threat Intelligence team has uncovered and validated circulating reports of a zero-day Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting Gasboy Fuel Station Management Systems. This critical vulnerability was first observed being discussed on underground Telegram channels frequented by threat actors and vulnerability traders.
Gasboy systems are widely deployed across commercial fuel stations, government fleets, military installations, and logistics hubs. The emergence of this vulnerability represents a serious and immediate threat to critical infrastructure, particularly in environments with poor segmentation or outdated firmware protections.
The Threat Landscape
The vulnerability allows for unauthenticated remote code execution, which means that an attacker—without any credentials—could potentially take full control of a Gasboy-connected system over the internet or corporate network.
Remote code execution vulnerabilities are among the most severe, as they permit a malicious actor to execute arbitrary commands, deploy malware, exfiltrate sensitive data, or disrupt operations entirely. In this case, the implications are particularly concerning given that Gasboy systems interface with physical infrastructure, including fuel pumps, storage tanks, sensors, and backend management consoles.
Telegram chatter indicates that some threat actors may already be testing or weaponizing this vulnerability. No patch is available as of this writing, and vendor disclosure appears to be in its early stages.
What’s at Risk
A successful exploit could allow adversaries to:
- Shut down fuel dispensing systems remotely
- Manipulate inventory data or pump configurations
- Override safety protocols
- Launch attacks against connected enterprise or SCADA systems
- Cause denial of service at physical sites or logistics hubs
This issue is not just a technical flaw—it has the potential to cascade into national fuel shortages, public safety concerns, or operational paralysis for affected fleets and facilities.
Response and Mitigation
iZOOlogic is actively tracking this threat across both surface and dark web channels. Our threat researchers are currently analyzing indicators of compromise (IoCs), seeking exploit proof-of-concepts (PoCs), and correlating threat actor discussions with known attack vectors.
In the absence of a vendor patch, we strongly recommend the following interim protective measures:
- Immediately audit all Gasboy systems for network exposure, particularly any accessible from the public internet.
- Implement strict network segmentation between fuel management systems and the broader enterprise or SCADA environment.
- Disable unused remote services or administrative ports.
- Enable enhanced logging and real-time monitoring, with attention to unusual network traffic or access attempts to Gasboy interfaces.
- Apply temporary firewall rules or VPN enforcement to limit remote access strictly to authorized personnel and IP ranges.
For clients with active monitoring services through iZOOlogic, additional threat detection rules are being deployed across our platforms.
iZOOlogic’s Role
Our Threat Research Division and 24×7 Security Operations Center (SOC) are closely monitoring this vulnerability and the actors exploiting it. We are prepared to work with affected clients to implement mitigations and, where possible, perform deep-dive digital forensics in response to any suspicious activity.
We are also initiating responsible disclosure engagement with the vendor community and trusted government bodies to accelerate patch development and awareness.
Conclusion
This vulnerability highlights the growing convergence of cyber threats with physical infrastructure. As IoT and operational technology (OT) systems become more interconnected, vulnerabilities such as this one are no longer rare—they are expected.
We urge organizations using Gasboy or similar industrial management systems to treat this advisory with the highest priority. Early containment and proactive monitoring could prevent significant operational and reputational damage.
