Remote Code Execution Alert: Rockwell Automation’s Stratix IOS Vulnerability Sparks Security Concerns
View CSAF: Warning! Your Stratix IOS might be more open than a public Wi-Fi. A vulnerability could let cyber baddies run the show remotely with ease. Rockwell Automation suggests updating faster than you can say “injection attack.” Stay safe, stay updated, and keep your network exposure lower than your caffeine intake.
Hot Take:
If your Stratix IOS was a car, it’d have a “hack me” bumper sticker. Rockwell Automation’s equipment is experiencing a mid-life crisis, but swapping the firmware is cheaper than buying a convertible!
Key Points:
- Rockwell Automation’s Stratix IOS has a vulnerability that could be exploited remotely with low attack complexity.
- Versions 15.2(8)E5 and prior are affected, and users are urged to upgrade to version 15.2(8)E6 or later.
- The vulnerability allows for remote code execution by running unauthorized configurations.
- Rockwell has reported the issue to CISA, and no public exploitation has been reported yet.
- CISA recommends several defensive measures, including the use of VPNs and isolating systems behind firewalls.
