Rockwell Automation Security Alert: Path Traversal Vulnerability Shakes FactoryTalk Users!
Exploit the hilarity of FactoryTalk View with a path traversal and authorization twist! Rockwell Automation’s equipment is under threat, but luckily, not from comedians. With CVSS v4 8.7 vulnerabilities, it’s no joke. Unauthenticated attackers can access the file system, but don’t worry—Rockwell’s got the punchlines, I mean, patches, ready!
Hot Take:
Rockwell Automation just found themselves in a ‘Rock’ and a hard place with these vulnerabilities! It looks like their FactoryTalk View Machine Edition and PanelView Plus 7 need some serious factory reset. But hey, at least they’re transparent and working on a fix faster than you can say “path traversal!”
