A user authentication vulnerability exists in the Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk® View SE. The vulnerability allows a user from a remote system with FTView to send a packet to the customer’s server to view an HMI project. Due to the lack of proper authentication, this action is allowed without proper authentication verification.
All versions of FactoryTalk View SE disclose the hostnames and file paths for certain files within the system. A remote, authenticated attacker may be able to leverage this information for reconnaissance efforts. Rockwell Automation recommends enabling built in security features found within FactoryTalk View SE. Users should follow guidance found in knowledge base articles 109056 and 1126943 to set up IPSec and/or HTTPs.
In all versions of FactoryTalk View SEA remote, an authenticated attacker may be able to utilize certain handlers to interact with the data on the remote endpoint since those handlers do not enforce appropriate permissions. Rockwell Automation recommends enabling built in security features found within FactoryTalk View SE. Users should follow guidance found in knowledge base articles 109056 and 1126943 to set up IPSec and/or HTTPs.
In all versions of FactoryTalk View SE, after bypassing memory corruption mechanisms found in the operating system, a local, authenticated attacker may corrupt the associated memory space allowing for arbitrary code execution. Rockwell Automation recommends applying patch 1126290. Before installing this patch, the patch rollup dated 06 Apr 2020 or later MUST be applied. 1066644 – Patch Roll-up for CPR9 SRx.
