CVE-2026-101024 Satel CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders of ICS systems using Satel Netco Design, particularly those with Viewer privileges, should assess exposure and prioritize remediation. This includes reviewing affected versions, updating to version 2.1.7 or later, and monitoring for suspicious activity. Security teams and vulnerability management teams should also review the vulnerability and plan for remediation.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-101024 is a high-severity vulnerability in Satel Netco Design that allows for unauthorized file creation or modification and potential arbitrary code execution. Defenders of ICS systems using Satel Netco Design should assess exposure, prioritize remediation, and verify affected versions and remediation status.

• Potential unauthorized file creation or modification
• Potential arbitrary code execution under certain conditions
• Need for verification of affected versions and remediation status
• Priority for updating to version 2.1.7 or later

Technical summary

Satel Netco Design versions prior to v2.1.7 contain a relative path traversal vulnerability in its data export functionality. An authenticated user with Viewer privileges could write attacker-influenced content to file system locations accessible to the application service, potentially resulting in unauthorized file creation or modification and, under certain conditions, arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability affects the data export functionality and requires user authentication with Viewer privileges. Defenders should focus on updating to version 2.1.7 or later and restricting access to sensitive data export functionality.

Defensive priority

High priority for ICS systems using Satel Netco Design versions prior to v2.1.7.

Recommended defensive actions

• Review and update Satel Netco Design to version 2.1.7 or later
• Restrict access to sensitive data export functionality
• Monitor for suspicious activity on ICS systems using Satel Netco Design
• 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 CVE record and source item provide details on the vulnerability, but limited information is available on exploitation or victim impact.
