Unauthenticated service shutdown via network command
Published Mar 16, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025
Missing authentication in PTC Axeda agent and Axeda Desktop Server for Windows allows remote attackers to shut down a service via a network command. The affected listener accepts a service-control command on a specific port without authenticating the sender, but the exact command and port are not publicly identified in the advisory. Any unauthenticated network access to that listener can interrupt the associated service; no confidentiality or integrity impact is reported.
