CVE-2023-29024Network attack vector

Authenticated web-interface modification via undisclosed XSS

Published May 11, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Cross-site scripting in Rockwell Automation ArmorStart ST firmware allows remote authenticated users to alter or disrupt its web page. Rockwell Automation has not disclosed the affected input, page, or firmware routine, so the precise failure to neutralize attacker-controlled content is unknown. Exploitation requires low-privileged network access, user interaction, and the normally disabled web server; impact is limited to web-interface data and availability.
