CVE-2023-45796Network attack vector

Process-data manipulation via stored Runtime scripts

Published Jun 22, 2026 · Updated Jun 22, 2026

Cross-site scripting in Pilz PASvisu Runtime before 1.14.1 and PMI v8xx through 2.0.33992 allows remote authenticated users to alter process data. The Runtime stores malicious JavaScript without neutralizing it and later executes the script in its web interface. Low-privileged network access is sufficient, and successful exploitation can modify process data or interrupt the controlled automation application.
