Auth RequiredLow
ComplexityLow
User InteractionNone needed
Summary

Resource Data Management Intuitive 650 TDB Controller contains improper access control and cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities. An authenticated user could exploit these weaknesses to gain elevated privileges or perform unauthorized actions on the controller.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker with valid login credentials could escalate privileges to bypass access controls and execute unauthorized commands on the TDB Controller, potentially disrupting or manipulating process control operations.
Who's at risk
Water and wastewater treatment operators, electric utilities, and any facility using Resource Data Management Intuitive 650 TDB Controllers for process automation and control should implement compensating controls, as the affected devices cannot be patched.
How it could be exploited
An attacker with valid credentials to the controller's web interface could craft a CSRF request or exploit improper access control checks to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary administrative actions on the device.
Prerequisites
  • Valid login credentials for the Intuitive 650 TDB Controller
  • Network access to the controller's web interface (typically port 80/443)
  • User interaction or ability to target authenticated users with CSRF requests
Requires valid credentials for exploitationNo patch available from vendorAffects industrial control systemsAccess control bypass possible
Exploitability
Low exploit probability (EPSS 0.2%)
