Summary
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to impersonate an authorized user on the FTSP server, resulting in unauthorized access to system configurations.
The following versions of Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform are affected:
- FactoryTalk Directory (FTSP) 6.60
| CVSS | Vendor | Equipment | Vulnerabilities |
|---|---|---|---|
| v3 7.8 | Rockwell Automation | Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform | Weak Authentication |
Background
- Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Critical Manufacturing
- Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide
- Company Headquarters Location: United States
Vulnerabilities
CVE-2026-10714
A security issue exists within FactoryTalk Services Platform (FTSP), allowing an attacker to bypass JWT signature validation during Okta Web Authentication. The vulnerability stems from the application not verifying that the JWT algorithm is configured for RSA, enabling an attacker to set the algorithm to "none" and craft forged tokens. This could allow an authenticated low-privilege user to impersonate any authorized user on the FTSP server, resulting in unauthorized access to system configuration and the ability to grant permissions to other systems protected by FTSP.

Recommended Practices
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability.
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.
When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
