> Default-enabled web debugger in Rockwell ControlLogix Ethernet Modules allows unauthenticated remote code execution; patch to Version 12.001.

Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Ethernet Modules (1756-EN2T/D, 1756-EN2F/C, 1756-EN2TR/C, 1756-EN3TR/B, 1756-EN2TP/A) up to and including Version 11.004 ship with an insecure default: the web-based debugger agent is enabled without authentication. An attacker on the network can connect to this agent using a specific IP address to perform arbitrary memory reads and writes, control program execution flow, and ultimately achieve remote code execution on the module. The vulnerability is rated CVSS 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L) — remotely exploitable with no authentication or user interaction required.

No active exploitation has been reported as of the advisory date. The affected products are deployed across critical infrastructure sectors worldwide, including energy, water, manufacturing, and transportation systems. Rockwell recommends immediate patching to Version 12.001. Until patching is possible, organizations should implement network segmentation to isolate control system devices from internet access, use firewalls to restrict access from untrusted networks, and deploy VPNs for any required remote access with additional authentication controls.
