The underlying feedback mechanism of

Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk System Services that transfers the FactoryTalk Policy Manager rules to relevant devices on the network does not verify that the origin of the communication is from a legitimate local client device.  This may allow a threat actor to craft a malicious website that, when visited, will send a malicious script that can connect to the local WebSocket endpoint and wait for events as if it was a valid client device. If successfully exploited, this would allow a threat actor to receive information including whether FactoryTalk Policy Manager is installed and potentially the entire security policy.

Hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerabilities could lead to privilege escalation. FactoryTalk System Services uses a hard-coded cryptographic key to generate administrator cookies. This vulnerability could allow a local authenticated non-admin user to generate an invalid administrator cookie giving them administrative privileges to the FactoryTalk Policy Manger database. The threat actor could make malicious changes to the database to be deployed when a legitimate FactoryTalk Policy Manager user deploys a security policy model. User interaction is required to successfully exploit this vulnerability. Improper authorization in FTSSBackupRestore.exe could lead to the loading of malicious configuration archives. FactoryTalk System Services does not verify that backup configuration archives are password protected. This vulnerability could allow a local authenticated non-admin user to craft a malicious backup archive without password protection to be loaded by FactoryTalk System Services as a valid backup when a restore procedure takes place. This vulnerability requires user interaction for successful exploitation. Origin validation errors could lead to information disclosure.
