CVE-2023-5390
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.3)—
An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to files being read from the Honeywell Experion ControlEdge VirtualUOC and ControlEdge UOC. This exploit could be used to read files from the controller that may expose limited information from the device. Honeywell recommends updating to the most recent version of the product. See Honeywell Security Notification for recommendations on upgrading and versioning.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
