Why Should I Care? 🟡 MEDIUM (6)

Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Activation Manager

CISA Advisories | CVSS 7.8 | CVE-2026-16675

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run FactoryTalk Activation Manager V5.02 or below: An attacker with Windows credentials could escalate privileges and gain full access to your system.

🎯 Affected versions: V5.02 and below
Not affected: V5.03 and above

🎭 In plain English:
This vulnerability allows someone with basic access to your system to gain full control over it, including access to all files and system resources. For example, an attacker could install malware or steal sensitive data.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• Authenticated attacker with Windows credentials
• Visible console windows running with SYSTEM privileges

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to the potential for full system compromise by an authenticated attacker.

✅ Fixed in: V5.03

💡 Context: The root cause is custom actions in the installer that spawn console windows with SYSTEM privileges.

Rockwell Automation Redundancy Module Configuration Tool

CISA Advisories | CVSS 7.3 | CVE-2026-9633, CVE-2026-9634

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run Rockwell Automation Redundancy Module Configuration Tool versions 9.00.00 to 10.00.00: these vulnerabilities can allow attackers to escalate privileges and execute processes with administrator rights.

🎯 Affected versions: 9.00.00 - 10.00.00

🎭 In plain English:
This vulnerability means that if you have the wrong permissions set on certain directories, an attacker can place a malicious file that gets executed with high-level admin rights when you run the tool. For example, an attacker could place a malicious DLL in a writable directory, and when an admin runs the tool, the malicious DLL gets loaded and runs with full admin privileges.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• Incorrect default permissions on system directories
• Local attacker access

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to the potential for privilege escalation and execution of malicious code with administrator privileges.

✅ Fixed in: 10.01.00

💡 Context: The root cause is incorrect default permissions on directories that the tool searches for required DLLs, allowing non-admin users to write malicious files.

Rockwell Automation Logix Platform

CISA Advisories | CVSS 7.5 | CVE-2026-9637

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run any affected version of Rockwell Automation Logix Platform: a denial-of-service attack can cause a major nonrecoverable fault, requiring a power cycle to recover.

🎯 Affected versions: ControlLogix 5580 <=V33, V34.011-V34.014, V35.011-V35.013, V36.011-V36.012; CompactLogix 5380 <=V33, V34.011-V34.014, V35.011-V35.013, V36.011-V36.012; GuardLogix 5580 <=V33, V34.011-V34.014, V35.011-V35.013, V36.011-V36.012; Compact GuardLogix 5380 <=V33, V34.011-V34.014, V35.011-V35.013, V36.011-V36.012

🎭 In plain English:
This vulnerability means an attacker can send a specially crafted message to your system, causing it to crash and stop working until you manually reset it. For example, an attacker could send a message that causes your industrial control system to shut down, halting production until you power cycle the device.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• The attacker must be able to send CIP messages to the affected device.

⏱ Urgency: High urgency because a successful attack can cause a major disruption in production, requiring manual intervention to recover.

✅ Fixed in: V37.011, 34.015, 35.014, 36.013

💡 Context: The root cause is improper validation of input length during CIP message processing, leading to a buffer overflow.

Rockwell Automation ControlLogix, CompactLogix, CompactLogix 5480, GuardLogix, Compact GuardLogix

CISA Advisories | CVSS 7.5 | CVE-2021-42260

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run any affected version of Rockwell Automation ControlLogix, CompactLogix, CompactLogix 5480, GuardLogix, or Compact GuardLogix: this vulnerability could cause a denial of service, leading to potential downtime and safety issues.

🎯 Affected versions: ControlLogix 5580 <34.015, <35.014, <36.013, <37.011; GuardLogix 5580 <34.015, <35.014, <36.013, <37.011; CompactLogix 5380 <34.015, <35.014, <36.013, <37.011; Compact GuardLogix 5380 <34.015, <35.014, <36.013, <37.011; CompactLogix 5480 <34.015, <35.014, <36.013, <37.011

🎭 In plain English:
This vulnerability could allow an attacker to send corrupt data to your industrial control systems, causing them to crash and stop working. For example, an attacker could send bad data to your system, causing it to freeze and require a full reset or reprogramming to recover.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• The attacker must be able to send corrupt data to the affected system.

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to the potential for significant downtime and safety risks in critical manufacturing environments.

✅ Fixed in: 34.015, 35.014, 36.013, 37.011

💡 Context: The root cause is a loop with an unreachable exit condition ('Infinite Loop') that can be triggered by corrupt data.

Rockwell Automation Historian ME

CISA Advisories | CVSS 8 | CVE-2025-12768, CVE-2026-12661

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run Rockwell Automation Historian ME Series B 5.202 or Series C 7.101: these versions are vulnerable to remote code execution and denial-of-service attacks.

🎯 Affected versions: Series B 5.202, Series C 7.101

🎭 In plain English:
An attacker could crash your device or take control of it if you're running the affected versions. For example, an attacker could send a specially crafted request to make your device stop working or execute malicious code.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• Low-level authentication
• Network adjacency

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to the potential for remote code execution and denial-of-service attacks, which can disrupt critical infrastructure operations.

💡 Context: The vulnerabilities stem from improper handling of input data, leading to out-of-bounds writes and buffer overflows.

Rockwell Automation RSLinx Classic

CISA Advisories | CVSS 8.6 | CVE-2026-9621, CVE-2026-9622, CVE-2026-9624, CVE-2026-9625

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run Rockwell Automation RSLinx Classic <=4.50: An attacker could crash your service, causing downtime.

🎯 Affected versions: RSLinx Classic <=4.50

🎭 In plain English:
These vulnerabilities mean that a hacker could send a specially crafted packet to your system, causing it to crash. For example, an attacker could send a packet that makes your RSLinx Classic service stop working, requiring a manual restart.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• Running RSLinx Classic <=4.50

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to the potential for service disruption and downtime.

✅ Fixed in: 4.60
