Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Machine Edition on the PanelView Plus, improperly verifies user’s input, which allows unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code executed via crafted malicious packets.  The device has the functionality, through a CIP class, to execute exported functions from libraries.  There is a routine that restricts it to execute specific functions from two dynamic link library files.  By using a CIP class, an attacker can upload a self-made library to the device which allows the attacker to bypass the security check and execute any code written in the function.

CVE-2024-7513 IMPACT

A code execution vulnerability exists in the affected product. The vulnerability occurs due to improper default file permissions allowing any user to edit or replace files, which are executed by account with elevated permissions.

Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Site Edition insufficiently validates user input, which could potentially allow threat actors to send malicious data bringing the product offline. If exploited, the product would become unavailable and require a restart to recover resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
