Multiple High-Severity Vulnerabilities in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Products
Rockwell Automation has disclosed several high-severity vulnerabilities affecting its FactoryTalk product line, including FactoryTalk View Machine Edition, PanelView Plus 7, and FactoryTalk ViewPoint. One of the vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2025-9064, is a path traversal issue in FactoryTalk View Machine Edition that allows unauthenticated attackers on the same network to delete arbitrary files from the device’s operating system, provided they know the filenames. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable and could lead to significant disruption or loss of critical files on affected devices. The company’s advisory SD1753 confirms that both FactoryTalk View Machine Edition and PanelView Plus 7 are impacted by this flaw, and that mitigations and workarounds are available. Another critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-9066, affects FactoryTalk ViewPoint and enables unauthenticated attackers to exploit XML External Entity (XXE) processing via certain SOAP requests. Successful exploitation of this flaw can result in a temporary denial-of-service condition, potentially disrupting industrial operations. Rockwell Automation’s advisory SD1752 details the XXE vulnerability, noting that it was discovered internally during routine security testing and that no known exploitation in the wild has been reported. Both vulnerabilities have been assigned a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating a high level of risk to industrial environments where these products are deployed. The advisories state that patches and workarounds are available, and customers are urged to apply them promptly to mitigate risk. The company emphasizes that the vulnerabilities are not currently known to be exploited in the wild, but the potential impact on industrial control systems is significant due to the products’ widespread use. The advisories also highlight Rockwell Automation’s commitment to transparency and proactive security practices, as these issues were identified through internal testing rather than external reports. Customers are encouraged to review the official advisories and implement recommended mitigations, including network segmentation and limiting access to trusted users. The affected products are commonly used in industrial automation environments, making timely remediation critical to prevent potential operational disruptions. The advisories provide detailed technical information and guidance for system administrators to assess and address the vulnerabilities. Rockwell Automation has made available downloadable advisories in Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange format for integration with vulnerability management tools. The company’s response includes both immediate patches and suggested workarounds for environments where patching may not be immediately feasible. Organizations using FactoryTalk View Machine Edition, PanelView Plus 7, or FactoryTalk ViewPoint should prioritize reviewing their exposure and applying the recommended security measures.

Rockwell Automation ICS Products Hit by Authentication, Authorization, DoS, and RCE Flaws
CISA republished multiple Rockwell Automation advisories covering vulnerabilities across **FactoryTalk Analytics PavilionX**, **RSLinx Classic**, **CompactLogix 5370**, **Logix 5370/5570 controllers**, and **FLEX I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters** used in critical manufacturing environments worldwide. The issues include an authorization bypass in PavilionX (`CVE-2025-14272`) that could let an unauthenticated attacker perform privileged administrative actions, and a third-party flaw in RSLinx Classic (`CVE-2020-13573`) tied to out-of-bounds read and stack-based buffer overflow conditions that could cause denial of service or enable remote arbitrary code execution. Additional advisories detail multiple **CIP-related denial-of-service weaknesses** in CompactLogix and Logix controllers, including `CVE-2026-11317`, where crafted CIP messages can trigger major nonrecoverable faults requiring a program download, as well as sequence-number, source-IP, and connection-ID issues that can induce controller faults. CISA also warned that FLEX I/O EtherNet/IP Adapters version `2.012` are affected by `CVE-2026-0646`, which can fault devices through malformed CIP requests, and `CVE-2026-0647`, a critical authentication bypass in the embedded web server that allows password changes through a crafted HTTP GET request, potentially leading to account takeover and loss of availability; CISA said no known public exploitation had been reported and urged operators to isolate control networks, reduce internet exposure, and secure remote access with firewalls and updated VPNs.

Multiple Critical Vulnerabilities Disclosed in Industrial Control Systems by CISA
CISA released thirteen advisories detailing critical vulnerabilities affecting a range of industrial control system (ICS) products from major vendors including Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Hitachi Energy, Schneider Electric, and Delta Electronics. The advisories highlight severe security flaws such as missing authentication for critical functions, improper authorization, buffer overflows, SQL injection, and improper certificate validation. For Siemens TeleControl Server Basic, a vulnerability (CVE-2025-40765) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain password hashes and perform authenticated operations on the database service, with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8, indicating critical risk. Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk View Machine Edition and PanelView Plus 7 are susceptible to path traversal and improper authorization, potentially granting attackers unauthorized access to device file systems and sensitive diagnostic information. FactoryTalk ViewPoint is vulnerable to XML external entity injection, which could result in denial-of-service conditions. Siemens SiPass Integrated faces multiple issues, including buffer overflows and cross-site scripting, which could enable arbitrary code execution and unauthorized access. The Siemens SIMATIC ET 200SP Communication Processors have a missing authentication flaw that could allow attackers to access configuration data remotely. Siemens SINEC NMS is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability that could let low-privileged users escalate privileges. Siemens Solid Edge products are exposed to out-of-bounds read and write vulnerabilities, risking application crashes or code execution. Siemens HyperLynx and Industrial Edge App Publisher are vulnerable to type confusion, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution via crafted HTML pages. Hitachi Energy MACH GWS products have incorrect default permissions and improper validation issues, which could allow attackers to tamper with system files, cause denial of service, or perform man-in-the-middle attacks. The advisories provide technical details, affected product versions, and recommended mitigations, urging administrators to review and apply patches or workarounds. The vulnerabilities impact critical infrastructure sectors such as manufacturing, energy, water, and transportation, with products deployed worldwide. Many of the flaws are remotely exploitable with low attack complexity, increasing the urgency for remediation. CISA emphasizes the importance of timely action to prevent exploitation, as several vulnerabilities could lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or disruption of essential services. The advisories also reference the need to consult vendor-specific security updates for the most current information. Organizations are advised to assess their exposure, prioritize patching, and implement recommended security controls to mitigate these risks. The coordinated disclosure underscores the ongoing threat to ICS environments and the necessity for robust security practices across operational technology networks.
