Two high-severity vulnerabilities have been identified in the Studio 5000® Simulation Interface by Rockwell Automation. The first, tracked as CVE-2025-11697, is a local code execution flaw that allows any Windows user on the affected system to exploit the API using path traversal sequences. This can result in the extraction of files and execution of scripts with Administrator privileges upon system reboot. The second vulnerability, CVE-2025-11696, is a local server-side request forgery (SSRF) issue that enables any Windows user to trigger outbound SMB requests, potentially exposing NTLM hashes to an attacker.
Both vulnerabilities were discovered internally by Rockwell Automation during routine security testing and have been disclosed as part of the company’s commitment to transparency. There is currently no evidence of exploitation in the wild, and Rockwell Automation has issued a security advisory (SD1760) confirming that fixes are available. No specific product versions have been listed as affected, but users of Studio 5000® Simulation Interface are advised to review the advisory and apply the recommended updates to mitigate risk.

Rockwell Automation has disclosed several high-severity vulnerabilities affecting its FactoryTalk product line, including FactoryTalk View Machine Edition, PanelView Plus 7, and FactoryTalk ViewPoint. One of the vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2025-9064, is a path traversal issue in FactoryTalk View Machine Edition that allows unauthenticated attackers on the same network to delete arbitrary files from the device’s operating system, provided they know the filenames. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable and could lead to significant disruption or loss of critical files on affected devices. The company’s advisory SD1753 confirms that both FactoryTalk View Machine Edition and PanelView Plus 7 are impacted by this flaw, and that mitigations and workarounds are available. Another critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-9066, affects FactoryTalk ViewPoint and enables unauthenticated attackers to exploit XML External Entity (XXE) processing via certain SOAP requests. Successful exploitation of this flaw can result in a temporary denial-of-service condition, potentially disrupting industrial operations. Rockwell Automation’s advisory SD1752 details the XXE vulnerability, noting that it was discovered internally during routine security testing and that no known exploitation in the wild has been reported. Both vulnerabilities have been assigned a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating a high level of risk to industrial environments where these products are deployed. The advisories state that patches and workarounds are available, and customers are urged to apply them promptly to mitigate risk. The company emphasizes that the vulnerabilities are not currently known to be exploited in the wild, but the potential impact on industrial control systems is significant due to the products’ widespread use. The advisories also highlight Rockwell Automation’s commitment to transparency and proactive security practices, as these issues were identified through internal testing rather than external reports. Customers are encouraged to review the official advisories and implement recommended mitigations, including network segmentation and limiting access to trusted users. The affected products are commonly used in industrial automation environments, making timely remediation critical to prevent potential operational disruptions. The advisories provide detailed technical information and guidance for system administrators to assess and address the vulnerabilities. Rockwell Automation has made available downloadable advisories in Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange format for integration with vulnerability management tools. The company’s response includes both immediate patches and suggested workarounds for environments where patching may not be immediately feasible. Organizations using FactoryTalk View Machine Edition, PanelView Plus 7, or FactoryTalk ViewPoint should prioritize reviewing their exposure and applying the recommended security measures.

A critical path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2024-48510) has been identified in Rockwell Automation's AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation, specifically affecting versions 2.00.00 to 2.00.04. The flaw, rooted in the DotNetZip library (v1.16.0 and earlier), could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code if a victim opens a malicious file, potentially compromising safety instrumented system (SIS) applications used in critical manufacturing sectors. The vulnerability is rated high severity, with a CVSS v4 score of 8.6, and exploitation requires user interaction but is considered low complexity and remotely exploitable. Rockwell Automation discovered the issue during internal testing and reported it to CISA, emphasizing their commitment to transparency and product security. The company has released a security advisory confirming the vulnerability, noting that it has been corrected and that no known exploitation has occurred in the wild. Organizations using affected SIS Workstation versions are urged to apply available mitigations to prevent potential remote code execution attacks targeting critical infrastructure environments worldwide.

Rockwell Automation, Siemens, and Schneider Electric issued July industrial security advisories covering dozens of OT vulnerabilities, with Rockwell disclosing multiple high-impact flaws in control and I/O products. The most severe Rockwell issue, **CVE-2026-10577**, affects `1715 Redundant IO` and exposes a network-accessible debug port without authentication, allowing remote attackers to run intrusive CLI commands, read or delete files, stop tasks, modify memory, and change I/O states; the flaw carries a **CVSS v4.0 score of 10.0**. Rockwell also reported **CVE-2026-9636**, a CIP Security certificate revocation handling weakness in several `CompactLogix 5380`, `ControlLogix 5580`, `GuardLogix 5580`, and `1756-EN4` devices that could let a network attacker connect with a certificate that should no longer be trusted, and **CVE-2025-11698**, a buffer overflow in Logix controller recovery images that can trigger a major non-recoverable fault and cause denial of service. Separately, CERT VDE published **VDE-2026-031** for **CVE-2026-4769**, a critical **WAGO System I/O Field** vulnerability caused by an undocumented internal diagnostic function exposed without authentication during early boot. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the startup window to access internal system processes and fully compromise affected `0765-series` devices; the issue is rated **CVSS 3.1 9.8** and **CVSS 4.0 9.3**. Siemens also disclosed **CVE-2025-40945**, an untrusted search path flaw in the IAM Client SDK used across products including `COMOS`, `Designcenter NX`, `Simcenter`, `Solid Edge`, `Teamcenter Visualization`, and `Tecnomatix`, enabling local privilege escalation for authenticated users and reinforcing the breadth of current patching demands across industrial environments.
