Traffic disclosure via unencrypted ViewX communication
Published Feb 9, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Inadequate encryption in Schneider Electric ViewX clients for ClearSCADA and Geo SCADA 2019 and 2020 allows attackers to read traffic. Outdated ViewX clients establish non-encrypted server communication, although Schneider Electric has not disclosed the protocol or cryptographic negotiation responsible. An attacker must be positioned to observe the network path; the published impact is traffic disclosure, not data modification or service interruption.
