AVEVA’s Cryptic Conundrum: Passwords Up for Grabs!
View CSAF: AVEVA Edge users beware! A vulnerability with low attack complexity and a CVSS v4 score of 8.3 might allow local attackers to play sleuth with passwords. But don’t worry, AVEVA’s got your back with a security update and some handy tips. Just remember, in the world of cybersecurity, forewarned is forearmed!
Hot Take:
Looks like AVEVA Edge took a leap of faith with a broken cryptographic algorithm and landed right into the arms of a common brute force attack! Better start changing passwords like it’s going out of style, folks. Remember, broken hashes are like your favorite snack food – everyone wants a piece, and it’s gone before you know it.
Key Points:
- AVEVA Edge has a vulnerability that could be exploited for password brute-forcing.
- Affects versions 2023 R2 and prior of the HMI/SCADA software.
- Local attackers with read access could reverse engineer passwords.
- Mitigation involves updating to AVEVA Edge 2023 R2 P01 and changing passwords.
