MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with high privileges (PR:H) over the Workflows configuration feature of FactoryTalk DataMosaix Private Cloud - this is the exact feature where unsanitized input is stored. It is a stored/persistent XSS, so the attacker injects once, but the malicious script only executes when a second, separate user navigates to the affected Workflows page (UI:P / passive user interaction is required). Limiting factors: the high-privilege prerequisite excludes anonymous or low-privilege attackers, and payload execution is gated on a victim actually loading the compromised page, so there is no fully automated, unauthenticated remote trigger against a default configuration. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable, low complexity, but requiring high privileges (PR:H) and passive user interaction (UI:P) from a victim who opens the page. The score of 8.4 is driven by high confidentiality and integrity impact within the vulnerable system, with no availability or cross-system scope impact. The PR:H requirement is the dominant mitigating factor - an attacker must already hold a high-privilege account, which substantially narrows the realistic threat to malicious insiders, compromised admin credentials, or a multi-stage attack. No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or POC was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; the absence of these signals combined with PR:H suggests this is a meaningful but not urgent, internet-worm-style priority. Because DataMosaix is an OT-adjacent platform, the trust placed in privileged operators makes stored XSS a credible pivot for lateral privilege escalation despite the PR:H gate. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious insider or an attacker who has obtained high-privilege credentials logs into FactoryTalk DataMosaix Private Cloud and saves a crafted JavaScript payload into a Workflows configuration field. When another operator or administrator later opens that Workflows page, the stored script runs in their session, letting the attacker steal their session token or credentials or redirect them to a malicious site. No public exploit code was identified, and success depends on a second victim user viewing the affected page (UI:P). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 14, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk DataMosaix Private Cloud lets a high-privileged authenticated user persist malicious JavaScript through the Workflows configuration, which then executes in the browsers of other users who view the affected page. Successful exploitation can lead to session/account takeover, credential theft, or redirection to attacker-controlled sites. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.4 (High).
RemediationAI
Consult and apply the remediation in Rockwell Automation advisory SD1787 (https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/trust-center/security-advisories/advisory.SD1787.html); the input does not include an exact fixed version, so treat the advisory as authoritative for the patched release and upgrade to it. Patch status: Patch available per vendor advisory - released patched version not independently confirmed from the provided data. As compensating controls until patched, restrict and audit accounts that hold high privileges over Workflows configuration (the PR:H prerequisite), since limiting who can author Workflows directly limits who can inject the payload; enforce least privilege and multi-factor authentication on administrative accounts to reduce the chance a high-privilege account is abused or compromised; and review existing Workflows configuration entries for unexpected script content before other users open those pages. A browser Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution would reduce impact if the platform supports it, at the trade-off of potentially breaking legitimate inline scripts in the UI.

Technical ContextAI · show details
FactoryTalk DataMosaix Private Cloud is Rockwell Automation's on-premises industrial DataOps/data-management platform used to aggregate and contextualize operational-technology (OT) data. The flaw is a CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (Cross-Site Scripting), specifically the stored/persistent variant: user-supplied values entered in the Workflows configuration are saved server-side without proper output encoding or sanitization, so the payload is re-served as executable markup to any user who later renders that page. Per the CPE (cpe:2.3:a:rockwell_automation:factorytalk®_datamosaix™_private_cloud), the affected component is the web application layer of the Private Cloud deployment rather than a client or firmware component.

Network-reachable stored XSS needs a high-privilege author (PR:H) and a victim to view the page (UI:R); execution in the victim's browser crosses a trust boundary (S:C) with high C/I and no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org
A Stored Cross-Site Scripting security issue exists within FactoryTalk® DataMosaix™ Private Cloud. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input within the Workflows configuration. An authenticated attacker with high privileges can inject malicious scripts that are permanently stored on the server. This vulnerability can result in the execution of malicious JavaScript when other users access the affected page, potentially allowing for account takeover, credential theft, or redirection to a malicious website.
Executive ViewAI
Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk DataMosaix Private Cloud contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVSS 8.4) in the Workflows configuration module that allows high-privilege authenticated users to inject malicious code executed in other users' browsers, enabling credential theft, session hijacking, and account takeover. This directly exposes manufacturing operations and privileged user credentials to insider threats and compromised administrator accounts.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict Workflows configuration access to minimal set of trusted administrators; implement browser Content Security Policy headers to restrict script execution; conduct daily audits of Workflow configuration changes with role-based access controls and change logs; disable Workflows module if operationally feasible pending patch availability.
