Technical Analysis
This vulnerability involves the use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CWE-327) in AVEVA Pipeline Integrity Monitor. An attacker with read access to PIMBoards project files can perform computational brute-forcing of weak hashes to reverse engineer app-native passwords. Successful exploitation may allow elevation to an administrator user in PIMBoards. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.3 (high severity), indicating significant impact with local attack vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and high confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
If exploited, an attacker with read access to project files can recover user passwords by brute force due to weak hashing, potentially gaining administrator privileges. This compromises confidentiality and integrity of the system's user authentication.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict read access to PIMBoards project files to trusted users only to reduce risk.
