What is CVE-2022-30243?

CVE-2022-30243 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in n/a, published on 15 Jul 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Honeywell Alerton Visual Logic through 2022-05-04 allows unauthenticated programming writes from remote users. This enables code to be stored on the controller and then run without verification. A user with malicious intent can send a crafted packet to change and/or stop the program without the knowledge of other users, altering the controller's function. After the programming change, the program needs to be overwritten in order for the controller to restore its original operational function.

Weakness: CWE-829
