An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2017-7898 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2017-7898 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 and 1400, published on 30 Jun 2017. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-7898 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 and 1400. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7898/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7898/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7898","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7898/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7898","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cw68-r9hq-w87x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PLC controller","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication on Rockwell Automation MicroLogix PLCs by repeatedly guessing passwords without lockout penalties.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"1763-l16awa_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1763-l16awa_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1763-l16bbb_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1763-l16bbb_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1763-l16bwa_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1763-l16bwa_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1763-l16dwd_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1763-l16dwd_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32awa_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32awa_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32awaa_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32awaa_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32bwa_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32bwa_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32bwaa_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32bwaa_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32bxb_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32bxb_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32bxba_series_a","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"1766-l32bxba_series_b","vendor":"rockwellautomation"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"An Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts issue was discovered in Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 programmable-logic controllers 1763-L16AWA, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions; 1763-L16BBB, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions; 1763-L16BWA, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions; and 1763-L16DWD, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions and Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1400 programmable logic controllers 1766-L32AWA, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions; 1766-L32BWA, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions; 1766-L32BWAA, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions; 1766-L32BXB, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions; 1766-L32BXBA, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions; and 1766-L32AWAA, Series A and B, Version 16.00 and prior versions.
