CVE-2024-9124Network attack vector

Unauthenticated service interruption via request overload

Published Oct 8, 2024 · Updated Nov 21, 2024

Denial of service in Rockwell Automation PowerFlex 6000T 8.001, 8.002, and 9.001 allows remote attackers to interrupt the drive. The drive fails to handle an excessive request load and becomes unavailable, but Rockwell Automation has not disclosed the request type or processing locus. No authentication or user interaction is required, and recovery can require a power cycle if connectivity does not return.
