CVE-2024-50054 mySCADA CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations operating mySCADA myPRO Manager or myPRO Runtime in industrial control system (ICS) environments, including manufacturing facilities, energy utilities, water treatment plants, and other critical infrastructure sectors. Security teams responsible for OT/ICS asset protection, SCADA system administrators, and compliance officers managing NERC CIP or IEC 62443 security programs should prioritize assessment and remediation.

Technical summary

The mySCADA myPRO Manager and myPRO Runtime products contain a path traversal vulnerability in their backend file handling functionality. The application accepts a user-controlled filename parameter without adequate validation or sanitization, allowing an attacker to inject directory traversal sequences (such as ../) to navigate outside the intended directory structure. This enables unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server's file system, potentially exposing sensitive configuration data, credentials, or system files. The vulnerability is network-exploitable with low attack complexity and requires no privileges or user interaction. Affected versions include myPRO Manager prior to 1.3 and myPRO Runtime prior to 9.2.1. The vendor has released patched versions that address this validation deficiency.

Defensive priority

HIGH

Recommended defensive actions

• Update mySCADA myPRO Manager to version 1.3 or later
• Update mySCADA myPRO Runtime to version 9.2.1 or later
• Apply network segmentation to limit exposure of mySCADA systems to untrusted networks
• Implement input validation and sanitization for filename parameters in custom applications
• Monitor for anomalous file access patterns in myPRO Manager and Runtime deployments
• Review and apply CISA ICS recommended practices for industrial control system security
