Attack Vector: Local
Attack Complexity: Low
Privileges Required: Low
User Interaction: None
Scope: Changed
Confidentiality: High
Integrity: None
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately review and restrict membership of the Event Log Reader group to only trusted and necessary accounts, minimizing the number of users who can access event logs. Implement strict access controls and auditing on event log files to detect unauthorized access attempts. Employ network segmentation and proxy server hardening to limit the impact if credentials are compromised. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns to proxy servers and consider implementing multi-factor authentication on proxy access where possible. Coordinate with AVEVA to obtain and apply patches or updates as soon as they become available. Additionally, consider encrypting sensitive log data or redirecting logs to secure, access-controlled storage to reduce exposure. Conduct regular security awareness training for administrators and operators about the risks of privilege misuse and the importance of protecting event log access. Finally, integrate this vulnerability into vulnerability management and incident response plans to ensure timely detection and remediation.

Description

The vulnerability, if exploited, could allow an attacker with Event Log Reader (S-1-5-32-573) privileges to obtain proxy details, including URL and proxy credentials, from the PI to CONNECT event log files. This could enable unauthorized access to the proxy server.

Impact

For European organizations, especially those in industrial automation, manufacturing, energy, and critical infrastructure sectors, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to confidentiality. Unauthorized access to proxy credentials could allow attackers to pivot through proxy servers, potentially bypassing network segmentation and gaining access to sensitive internal systems. This could lead to further reconnaissance or lateral movement within networks, increasing the risk of data breaches or disruption of operational technology environments. Since the vulnerability requires only Event Log Reader privileges, which may be granted to various service accounts or users for legitimate monitoring purposes, the attack surface is broader than vulnerabilities requiring administrative access. The compromise of proxy credentials could also undermine network security controls, impacting compliance with European data protection regulations such as GDPR if sensitive data is exposed or intercepted. The lack of known exploits currently limits immediate risk, but the potential for escalation and lateral movement makes this a concern for European entities relying on AVEVA PI to CONNECT Agent.
