Vendor:
Automated Logic Product Version:
Automated Logic WebCTRL Premium Server: <v8.5 Product Status:
known_affected

Remediations

Mitigation
Automated Logic notes that WebCTRL 7 is End of Life (EOL) and has been out of support since January 27, 2023. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the WebCTRL server application, which supports the more secure BACnet/SC.

Mitigation
For customers using supported versions of WebCTRL (WebCTRL 8.5 cumulative releases and later), Automated Logic provides secure configuration guidance for hardware and software deployments; BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) support, which introduces TLS encryption and mutual authentication; and published best practices for network segmentation, access control, and secure protocol implementation.

CVE-2026-32666

WebCTRL systems that communicate over BACnet inherit the protocol's lack of network layer authentication. WebCTRL does not implement additional validation of BACnet traffic so an attacker with network access could spoof BACnet packets directed at either the WebCTRL server or associated AutomatedLogic controllers. Spoofed packets may be processed as legitimate.

CVE-2026-24060

Service information is not encrypted when transmitted as BACnet packets over the wire, and can be sniffed, intercepted, and modified by an attacker. Valuable information such as the File Start Position and File Data can be sniffed from network traffic using Wireshark's BACnet dissector filter. The proprietary format used by WebCTRL to receive updates from the PLC can also be sniffed and reverse engineered.

Recommended Practices

CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities, such as:

Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.

Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.

When remote access is required, use more 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 the connected devices.

CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.

CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.

CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.

Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.

Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.

CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks:

Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages.

Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on avoiding email scams.

Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more information on social engineering attacks.

No known public exploitation specifically targeting these vulnerabilities has been reported to CISA at this time.
