description
The issue affects GENESIS through 11.03; GENESIS64, ICONICS Suite, Hyper Historian, AnalytiX, MobileHMI, and IoTWorX through 10.97.3; plus all versions of MC Works64, GENESIS32, and BizViz. An attacker who obtains the shared password-recovery response may unlock the system and then access, alter, delete, or disrupt internal information; obtaining that response is a prerequisite.
mitigation
Restrict network and remote-login access to affected systems, and limit administrator privileges to essential users. No fixed version is recorded; isolate exposed deployments and apply vendor updates when available.
