Exploitable Vulnerability Could Prevent Access to Legitimate Users and End Connections to Connected Devices

CVE-2024-6207

Summary

The vulnerability allows a threat actor to exploit a flaw in the processing of specially crafted CIP messages sent to Rockwell Automation Controllers. This can lead to unauthorized disruption of service, preventing legitimate users from gaining access and possibly severing connections to devices within the network, including workstations. Recovery from such an incident necessitates a download process, which forcibly halts any ongoing controller operations, impacting production and operational efficiency.
