CISA published an ICS advisory for Rockwell Automation's OTTO Fleet Manager, disclosing CVE-2026-75112, a CWE-916 issue involving an insufficient work factor in the software's bcrypt password hashing implementation. Versions V2.36.2 and earlier are affected. The weakness does not itself grant remote access, but if an attacker obtains an unencrypted system backup, the weakly hashed credentials within it could be cracked via offline brute-force attacks far more easily than intended.
The vulnerability is not remotely exploitable and CISA states no known public exploitation has been reported. Rockwell Automation has fixed the issue in version 2.36.3 and published advisory SD1791 with instructions for enabling encrypted system backups as an additional mitigation. Organizations unable to upgrade immediately should follow Rockwell's general security best practices, isolate control system networks from business networks and the internet, and use VPNs for any required remote access.
This affects critical manufacturing and transportation systems sectors globally, given OTTO Fleet Manager's use in managing autonomous mobile robot fleets. Defenders should prioritize patching to 2.36.3, enable encrypted backups, and restrict access to backup storage locations to prevent credential harvesting from stolen or exposed backup files.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries its extracted indicators and live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
