Rockwell FactoryTalk Services Platform < 6.40 Authentication Bypass

critical Nessus Plugin ID 189991

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Rockwell FactoryTalk Services Platform installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 6.40. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 - A vulnerability exists in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk® Service Platform that allows a malicious user to obtain the service token and use it for authentication on another FTSP directory. This is due to the lack of digital signing between the FTSP service token and directory. If exploited, a malicious user could potentially retrieve user information and modify settings without any authentication. (CVE-2024-21917)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Rockwell FactoryTalk Services Platform version 6.40 or later or refer to the vendor advisory for other mitigations.
