Unauthenticated file deletion via path traversal
Published Oct 14, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025
Path traversal in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View Machine Edition 15.00 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete panel files. The vendor has not disclosed the reachable request handler or path-validation operation that permits traversal outside an intended directory. Attackers must share the device network and know the target filename; successful exploitation deletes that file from the panel operating system.
