DescriptionCVE.org

A denial-of-service security issue exists within FactoryTalk® Historian Machine Edition.  A network adjacent attacker who is authenticated could send crafted requests to the web interface, resulting in buffer overflow conditions that may cause the device to crash and become unresponsive.

AnalysisAI

Denial-of-service vulnerability in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk® Historian Machine Edition allows a network-adjacent, high-privilege authenticated attacker to crash the device by sending crafted requests to its web interface, triggering a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) that renders the historian unresponsive. All versions appear affected per the CPE wildcard, and the impact is limited to availability - no confidentiality or integrity compromise is possible. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two specific, concurrent prerequisites: (1) the attacker must be network-adjacent - on the same network segment, VLAN, or broadcast domain as the historian; internet-based remote exploitation is not possible given AV:A in the confirmed CVSS 4.0 vector; (2) the attacker must possess high-privilege (PR:H) authenticated credentials to the FactoryTalk® Historian Machine Edition web interface - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8 (Medium) accurately reflects a meaningfully constrained attack surface: AV:A limits exploitation to hosts on the same network segment or VLAN (not internet-routable), PR:H requires the attacker to already hold high-privilege authenticated credentials to the web interface, and the sole impact is VA:L - a low-severity availability disruption. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
