Summary

FAST/TOOLS and CI Server contain script injection vulnerabilities (CWE-79, CWE-258) in versions R9.01 through R10.04 and R1.01.00 through R1.03.00 respectively. These allow an attacker to inject and execute malicious scripts, potentially gaining control of affected systems. The vulnerabilities affect multiple FAST/TOOLS packages including RVSVRN, UNSVRN, HMIWEB, FTEES, and HMIMOB. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to take control of the engineering platform and alter industrial process configurations or setpoints.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker could inject malicious scripts into FAST/TOOLS or CI Server to execute arbitrary code and take control of the engineering workstations or servers, potentially allowing them to modify process configurations, setpoints, or alarm thresholds in connected industrial equipment.
Who's at risk
Energy and manufacturing organizations using Yokogawa FAST/TOOLS (versions R9.01 through R10.04) or CI Server (versions R1.01.00 through R1.03.00) for engineering workstations, human-machine interfaces, and process automation configuration are affected. This includes facilities that rely on these systems for remote monitoring, configuration, or data exchange with industrial control systems.
How it could be exploited
An attacker with network access to a FAST/TOOLS or CI Server instance could inject a malicious script (CWE-79 indicates cross-site scripting or similar script injection). Once the script runs, the attacker gains code execution on that system, which could then be used to modify industrial process parameters or configurations managed through the software.
Prerequisites
  • Network access to FAST/TOOLS or CI Server web interface or API
  • User interaction may be required to trigger script execution (depending on injection vector)
  • No authentication required if the injection point is accessible to unauthenticated users

Patching may require device reboot — plan for process interruption

HOTFIXUpdate FAST/TOOLS to R10.04, then apply patch software R10.04 SP3, followed by patch software I12560
HOTFIXUpdate CI Server to R1.03.00 and apply patch software R10.04 SP3
Long-term hardening
0/1
HARDENINGImplement input validation and output encoding on web interfaces to prevent script injection attacks
