Rockwell Automation Arena: A Comedy of Vulnerabilities – CVSS Scores So High, Even Your Toaster is Nervous!
View CSAF: Rockwell Automation’s Arena software is under siege with vulnerabilities as thrilling as a reality TV show twist. The list includes out-of-bounds reads and writes, and a stack-based buffer overflow—all with a CVSS v4 score of 8.5. Arena users, it’s time to update before your system stars in its own drama!
Hot Take:
Rockwell Automation Arena has more holes than Swiss cheese, but don’t worry, their vulnerabilities are as socially distant as we wish we could be from our in-laws during the holidays. Just remember: if a suspicious DOE file arrives at your doorstep, treat it like the fruitcake your neighbor gives you every year—don’t open it!
Key Points:
- Rockwell Automation Arena has nine vulnerabilities each with a CVSS v4 score of 8.5.
- Vulnerabilities include use of uninitialized variables, out-of-bounds read/write, and stack-based buffer overflow.
- Exploitation requires a legitimate user to open a malicious DOE file, so maybe don’t do that.
- Rockwell Automation recommends upgrading to version 16.20.09 or later to patch the vulnerabilities.
- No known public exploitation has been reported, and these vulnerabilities aren’t remotely exploitable.
