It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-2638 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk System Services. 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-2023-2638/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2638/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2638","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2638/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2638","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7j8r-p4gv-87r9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Industrial automation software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local authenticated user can load malicious configuration archives due to missing password verification, potentially causing denial of service or data modification.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Rockwell","cpe":[{"product":"factorytalk_policy_manager","vendor":"rockwellautomation"},{"product":"factorytalk_system_services","vendor":"rockwellautomation"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk System Services does not verify that a backup configuration archive is password protected.\n\n \n\nImproper authorization in FTSSBackupRestore.exe may lead to the loading of malicious configuration archives.  This vulnerability may allow a local, authenticated non-admin user to craft a malicious backup archive, without password protection, that will be loaded by FactoryTalk System Services as a valid backup when a restore procedure takes places.
