Rockwell Automation’s SIS Software Vulnerability: How Not to Get Zipped by Hackers!
The AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation is facing a “path traversal” vulnerability with a CVSS v4 score of 8.6, allowing remote code execution. Rockwell Automation advises upgrading to version 2.01.00 or later to mitigate risks. Meanwhile, CISA suggests keeping systems behind firewalls and avoiding internet exposure.
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, looks like Rockwell Automation is in a bit of a pickle with their AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation! Who knew that a simple path traversal could lead to remote code execution? Time for a software update, folks! Remember, just because your system is “Trusted” doesn’t mean it’s invincible. It’s like leaving your front door wide open and complaining when someone walks in and eats your snacks. Stay safe out there, and don’t forget to lock that digital door!
Key Points:
- Rockwell Automation’s AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation has a vulnerability that allows path traversal for remote code execution.
- The affected software versions are 2.00.00 to 2.00.04, with a CVSS score of 8.6. That’s the kind of score you don’t want to brag about.
- Exploitation requires the victim to open a malicious file, so be wary of “too good to be true” attachments.
- Affected systems are located worldwide, primarily affecting the Critical Manufacturing sector.
- Mitigation involves updating to software version 2.01.00 or later and following security best practices.
