CVE-2024-7956 Rockwell Automation CVE debrief

A vulnerability in Rockwell Automation DataMosaix Private Cloud allows authenticated users with basic privileges to gain unauthorized access to other users' projects, with the ability to modify or delete them. The issue stems from improper authorization controls that fail to enforce project-level access boundaries between users. Exploitation requires network access and valid low-privilege credentials, but no user interaction. Rockwell Automation has released version 7.09 to address this vulnerability.

Who should care

Organizations operating Rockwell Automation DataMosaix Private Cloud for industrial data management and visualization, particularly those with multi-user environments where project isolation is critical for operational security or intellectual property protection.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in DataMosaix Private Cloud versions 7.07 and earlier due to insufficient authorization checks when accessing project resources. An authenticated threat actor with basic user privileges can bypass intended access controls to view, modify, or delete projects belonging to other users. The attack is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflects high impacts to confidentiality and integrity, though availability is not affected. Rockwell Automation has addressed this in version 7.09.

Defensive priority

HIGH

Recommended defensive actions

  • Upgrade to DataMosaix Private Cloud version 7.09 or later to remediate this vulnerability
  • If immediate patching is not feasible, apply security best practices including network segmentation and principle of least privilege
  • Review project access controls and audit user permissions for sensitive projects
  • Monitor for unauthorized project modifications or deletions in affected environments
  • Consult Rockwell Automation security advisory for additional mitigation guidance

Evidence notes
