Schneider Electric Vijeo Citect 7.20 and earlier, CitectSCADA 7.20 and earlier, and PowerLogic SCADA 7.20 and earlier allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files, send HTTP requests to intranet servers, or cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via an XML document containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-2796 affects older Schneider Electric SCADA software. A malicious XML document could make the application read local files, reach internal web services, or consume CPU and memory. Business urgency depends on whether these legacy products are still deployed and reachable from untrusted networks. Likely exposure is limited to organizations still running Schneider Electric Vijeo Citect, CitectSCADA, or PowerLogic SCADA 7.20 or earlier. Risk is higher where XML-processing interfaces are reachable across corporate, vendor, or remote-access paths. Treat this as a legacy OT risk with potentially high operational impact. Prioritize confirmation and containment if affected products remain in production, especially in environments where SCADA systems are connected to broader enterprise networks. Mitigation focus: Inventory Schneider Electric Vijeo Citect, CitectSCADA, and PowerLogic SCADA versions.; Review Schneider Electric and ICS-CERT guidance for applicable hotfix or upgrade direction.; Restrict untrusted network access to affected SCADA services and XML-processing interfaces..
