Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The vulnerability, if exploited, could allow a miscreant with read access to PIMBoards project files to reverse engineer PIMBoards users’ app-native passwords through computational brute-forcing of weak hashes, potentially allowing elevation to a PIMBoards administrator user.
AnalysisAI
Weak password hashing in AVEVA PIMBoards (Pipeline Integrity Monitor ≤ 2025 SP1 P1, build 7.1.9580.8513) enables a local attacker with read access to project files to recover app-native user credentials through offline brute-force, then escalate privileges to a PIMBoards administrator account. The CWE-327 root cause - use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm for password storage - means hashes can be cracked computationally without network-side rate limiting or lockout defenses. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local read access to PIMBoards project files on the host or shared storage where application data is stored (AV:L, PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3 accurately reflects a high subsequent-system impact (SC:H/SI:H) driven by the admin-escalation chain, but the local access prerequisite (AV:L, PR:L) meaningfully constrains the realistic threat pool to insiders, users with overly permissive file share access, or attackers with an existing OT host foothold. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult AVEVA security bulletin AVEVA-2026-006 (https://www.aveva.com/content/dam/aveva/documents/support/cyber-security-updates/SecurityBulletin_AVEVA-2026-006.pdf) for the patched build - the exact fix version is not independently confirmed in available data beyond the affected ceiling of build 7.1.9580.8513. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify all systems running AVEVA PIMBoards ≤2025 SP1 P1 (build 7.1.9580.8513) and restrict file-system read access to PIMBoards project directories to administrator-only permissions. …
