03 Exploitation and scoring
SRC: CISA, FIRST, NVD, RED HAT- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.- EPSS probability
- 2.47% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Ranks above 83.1% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 7.5 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- NVD analysis status
- Modified. NVD last modified this record on 2026-06-17.
- Red Hat severity

Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.

PTC recommends the following:
Upgrade to Axeda agent Version 6.9.2 build 1049 or 6.9.3 build 1051 when running older versions of the Axeda agent.
Configure Axeda agent and Axeda Desktop Server (ADS) to only listen on the local host interface 127.0.0.1. Refer to PTC knowledge article CS360255
Provide a unique password in the AxedaDesktop.ini file for each unit.
Never use ERemoteServer in production.
Make sure to delete ERemoteServer file from host device.
Remove the installation file, for example: Gateway_vs2017-en-us-x64-pc-winnt-vc14-6.9.3-1051.msi
When running in Windows or Linux, only allow connections to ERemoteServer from trusted hosts and block all others.
When running the Windows operating system, configure Localhost communications (127.0.0.1) between ERemoteServer and Axeda Builder. Refer to PTC knowledge article CS360255
Configure the Axeda agent for the authentication information required to log in to the Axeda Deployment Utility. Refer to PTC knowledge article CS360255
PTC recommends upgrading the Axeda Desktop Server (ADS) to Version 6.9 build 215
The Axeda agent loopback-only configuration is only available in Version 6.9.1 and above. Hence, upgrading to Axeda agent 6.9.1 or above is required.
