Unauthenticated network access to diagnostics page discloses CIP Connection IDs only (C:L); chained DoS is not a direct impact of the disclosure primitive itself.

DescriptionCVE.org

A sensitive information disclosure security issue exists within the affected CompactLogix controllers. The controller's web server exposes CIP Connection IDs on the diagnostics webpage, which are accessible to any unauthenticated user on the network. This information can be leveraged by an attacker to construct malicious packets, leading to Denial-of-Service.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated information disclosure in Rockwell Automation CompactLogix 5370 PLCs exposes CIP Connection IDs via the controller's built-in web diagnostics page to any host with network access. The disclosed identifiers can be used by an attacker as a stepping-stone to craft malicious CIP packets, enabling a chained Denial-of-Service attack against active controller connections. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS 4.0 AT:P flag indicates specific network access conditions must be satisfied, which reduces exposure in properly segmented OT environments.

Technical ContextAI

The affected product is Rockwell Automation's CompactLogix 5370 programmable logic controller (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:rockwell_automation:compactlogix_5370:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a widely deployed PLC in industrial automation, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure environments. The controller includes an embedded web server that hosts a diagnostics page. CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) is the dominant industrial communication protocol for Rockwell devices, and CIP Connection IDs serve as session-layer identifiers for active communication channels between the PLC and connected devices such as HMIs and I/O modules. By exposing these identifiers without any authentication gate, the web server violates the principle of least privilege for operational metadata. The root cause is CWE-497 (Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere), where the system fails to restrict access to internal operational state that should never be visible to unauthenticated network observers. In OT/ICS contexts this class of flaw is particularly impactful because PLCs directly govern physical processes and are often reachable from flat industrial networks.

RemediationAI

Consult Rockwell Automation security advisory SD1776 at https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/trust-center/security-advisories/advisory.SD1776.html for official patch guidance; no specific patched firmware version was included in the available intelligence data, so patch availability and version must be confirmed with the vendor directly. As an immediate compensating control, restrict network access to TCP port 80 (and 443 if applicable) on CompactLogix 5370 controllers using perimeter firewalls or network ACLs to prevent unauthenticated hosts from reaching the diagnostics page - this directly eliminates the disclosure vector without requiring a firmware change, though it may limit remote diagnostics access. If the embedded web server is not operationally required, disable it following Rockwell Automation's product hardening guide to permanently eliminate this attack surface; note that disabling the web interface will prevent web-based monitoring and diagnostics workflows. Implementing strict OT network segmentation - placing controllers in an isolated VLAN with deny-by-default ingress rules - is the recommended long-term architectural control and limits the pool of hosts that can attempt chained CIP-based DoS attacks even if the disclosure remains present.
