Microsoft’s High Performance Compute (HPC) Pack is under scrutiny after a reported deserialization vulnerability that — if the technical description is accurate — would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code over a networked HPC cluster; however, the specific identifier CVE-2025-55232 could...
Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Analytics LogixAI has a serious configuration weakness that demands immediate attention from OT and IT teams: CISA republished an advisory assigning CVE-2025-9364 to an overly permissive Redis instance used by LogixAI, calling out exposure of sensitive system...
Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Optix has a newly publicized vulnerability that demands immediate attention from OT and IT teams: a lack of URI sanitization in the product’s embedded MQTT broker allows remote loading of Mosquitto plugins and can lead to remote code execution (RCE), affecting...
Rockwell Automation’s ThinManager has been flagged for a high-severity Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) flaw that can expose an industrial control system’s ThinServer service account NTLM credentials, according to a federal advisory reissued on September 9, 2025. The vulnerability—tracked...
CISA’s September 9, 2025 bulletin consolidating fourteen Industrial Control Systems advisories is a blunt reminder that the OT security landscape remains both crowded and volatile — the list spans high‑impact Rockwell Automation products, ABB building‑management gear, Schneider and Mitsubishi...
A recently republished U.S. federal advisory warns that Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Activation Manager contains a cryptographic implementation flaw that can be exploited remotely to decrypt or tamper with activation and management traffic — an issue assigned CVE‑2025‑7970 and rated with a...
Rockwell Automation’s 1783‑NATR I/O adapter has been flagged by CISA as vulnerable to a third‑party component flaw that can cause memory corruption, carrying a CVSS v4 base score of 6.9 and described as remotely exploitable with low attack complexity — operators should treat it as an immediate...
A newly republished advisory from CISA and Rockwell Automation raises urgent operational and security flags for organizations using the CompactLogix® 5480 controller family: the devices running specific Windows packages are affected by a Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability...
A set of high-severity flaws in ABB’s ASPECT, NEXUS, and MATRIX building-management products has forced an urgent wave of patching and network lockdowns across industrial and commercial facilities worldwide, with at least three tracked CVEs that let remote attackers bypass authentication, crash...
