CVE-2021-27467Network attack vector

Sensitive-information access via clickjacked web interface

Published May 20, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Clickjacking in Emerson Rosemount X-STREAM Enhanced gas analyzers of all revisions allows remote attackers to access sensitive information. The web interface permits an attacker-controlled page to frame its UI and redirect a victim's clicks or keystrokes to hidden analyzer controls. Exploitation requires user interaction while the analyzer interface is reachable, and the documented consequence is unauthorized access to sensitive information.
