CVE-2022-43378Network attack vector

Unintended user actions via unrestricted external frames

Published Apr 18, 2023 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

Clickjacking in Schneider Electric NetBotz 4 appliances 4.7.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to induce unintended user actions. The web interface does not properly restrict external-address frames, allowing attacker-controlled framing to disguise interface controls. Exploitation requires user interaction with the framed interface; the published impact is unauthorized action rather than disclosure or interruption.
