Weak encryption mechanism for User directory
02 Description
Weak encryption mechanism for User directory
03 Exploitation and scoring
- 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.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 0.06% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 0.0% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 8.4 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation
Harden the configuration Who should apply this recommendation: All users To reduce the risk of exploitation, ARC Informatique strongly recommends implementing the following defensive measures: * Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from insecure networks. * Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks. * When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as its connected devices. Additional deployment guidance and recommended practices are available in the product documentation ( Hardening Guide https://www.pcvue.com/ProductHelp/PcVue/en/Content/Deployment/hardening-guide/overview.php ). Update PcVue Who should apply this recommendation: All users using the affected component Apply the corrective update by installing PcVue Initial Release 17.0.0 or later In a patched release, it will no longer be possible to load User directory from earlier versions. Existing projects designed with an earlier version require explicit migration using the ProjectUtility CLI tool. Instructions are provided in the product documentation ( Project Utility CLI reference https://www.pcvue.com/ProductHelp/PcVue/en/Content/Deployment/tools/project-utility-cli.php ). To verify that the
