Status: ModifiedHigh (7.3)—

Emerson Electric's Proficy Machine Edition Version 9.80 and prior is vulnerable to CWE-29 Path Traversal: '\..\Filename', also known as a ZipSlip attack, through an upload procedure which enables attackers to implant a malicious .BLZ file on the PLC. The file can transfer through the engineering station onto Windows in a way that executes the malicious code.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
