CVE-2026-10714 Rockwell Automation CVE debrief

The Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform (FTSP) is vulnerable to an issue allowing an attacker to bypass JWT signature validation during Okta Web Authentication. This occurs because FTSP does not verify that the JWT algorithm is configured for RSA, enabling an attacker to set the algorithm to 'none' and craft forged tokens. Consequently, an authenticated low-privilege user could impersonate any authorized user on the FTSP server, leading to unauthorized access to system configuration and the ability to grant permissions to other systems protected by FTSP. Organizations using FTSP, particularly in industrial control systems (ICS) environments, should be aware of this vulnerability and take necessary actions to mitigate it. The CVE record was published on 2026-07-21T06:00:00.000Z and has not been modified since then. To address this issue, it is crucial to understand the potential impact, verify the affected scope, and follow vendor guidance for patching or mitigation. Evidence supporting this vulnerability includes the official CVE record and the Rockwell Automation security advisory. Reviewing system configurations, applying patches, and ensuring proper authentication mechanisms are in place can help prevent exploitation.

Who should care

Organizations using Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform, especially those in industrial control systems (ICS) environments, should be aware of this vulnerability and take necessary actions to mitigate it.

Technical summary

The vulnerability in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform (FTSP) allows an attacker to bypass JWT signature validation during Okta Web Authentication. This is possible because the application does not verify that the JWT algorithm is configured for RSA, enabling an attacker to set the algorithm to 'none' and craft forged tokens. An authenticated low-privilege user could exploit this to impersonate any authorized user on the FTSP server, gaining unauthorized access to system configuration and the ability to grant permissions to other systems protected by FTSP.

Defensive priority

Organizations using Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform should prioritize patching or mitigating this vulnerability to prevent potential unauthorized access and configuration changes.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Apply the individual patch (RAID 1158263) or the February 2026 Patch Roll-up for FactoryTalk Services Platform v6.60
  • Use Rockwell's security best practices if upgrading to a corrected version is not possible
  • Refer to Rockwell Automation's security advisory SD1786 page for more information
  • Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
  • Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
  • Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
  • Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented

Evidence notes

The vulnerability exists in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform (FTSP), allowing an attacker to bypass JWT signature validation during Okta Web Authentication. The application does not verify that the JWT algorithm is configured for RSA, enabling an attacker to set the algorithm to 'none' and craft forged tokens. This could allow an authenticated low-privilege user to impersonate any authorized user on the FTSP server, resulting in unauthorized access to system configuration and the ability to grant permissions to other systems protected by FTSP.
