Security readout for executives and security teams
This issue affects older Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer installations. A local user could trigger memory corruption with a crafted .ftd configuration file and potentially run arbitrary code on the workstation. Risk is mainly where engineering or operations staff handle untrusted configuration files. Exposure is most likely on industrial engineering, operator, or maintenance workstations running FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer versions earlier than V2.30.00 CPR9 SR3, especially where users receive or open .ftd files from less-trusted sources. Treat this as a targeted operational workstation risk, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize sites using FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer in production support workflows, because compromise of engineering workstations can affect industrial operations. Mitigation focus: Inventory FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer installations and versions.; Upgrade pre-V2.30.00 CPR9 SR3 installations per Rockwell guidance.; Restrict opening .ftd files to trusted users and trusted sources..
