CVE-2025-24480Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via unsanitized invoked-function parameters

Published Jan 28, 2025 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

OS command injection in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Machine Edition before 15.00 allows remote attackers to execute high-privilege code. Rockwell Automation has not identified the affected function or input path, stating only that invoked-function parameters lack sanitation. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful exploitation grants command execution with high privileges and full control of affected HMI hosts.
