AVEVA Enterprise SCADA

View CSAF Summary Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to tamper with serialized data, potentially resulting in code execution during deserialization. The following versions of AVEVA Enterprise SCADA are affected: Enterprise SCADA 2025 (CVE-2025-7639) Enterprise SCADA >=2024| =2023| =2022| =2024| =2023| =2022| "Mode" setting from 'Binary Formatter' to 'Json'. Change "BinarySerializer" -> "AcceptBinaryFormattedData" setting from 'true' to 'false'. Re-cache the XOS Event Handlers assembly Mitigation Client Components: Configure clients/products that interface with Enterprise SCADA to only use JSON serialization. Mitigation HMI: Migrate HMI displays Mitigation For step-by-step instructions on where and how to apply these configuration settings, how to migrate HMI displays, compatible server-client versions list, and additional details please refer to KB117814 "AVEVA Midstream Product Bulletin - Removal of Binary Formatter" https://softwaresupportsp.aveva.com/en-US/knowledge/details/000117814?lang=en_US Mitigation AVEVA recommends the following general defensive measures: Audit devices, network topology, and perimeter defences to ensure all applicable security best practices from AVEVA's Enterprise SCADA Reference System Architecture are adhered to. Audit assigned permissions to ensure that only trusted users are given "DNA Authority - Operator" rights: https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/scada-ent-2025/page/651008.html Disallow BLT Test clients in production environmentsFor additional details on defensive measures, refer to Section 5 of KB117814 "AVEVA Midstream Product Bulletin - Removal of Binary Formatter https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/scada-ent-2025/page/651008.html Mitigation For more information on this vulnerability, including security updates, users should see the security bulletin AVEVA-2026-005. https://www.aveva.com/content/dam/aveva/documents/support/cyber-security-updates/SecurityBulletin_AVEVA-2026-005.pdf Relevant CWE: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data Metrics CVSS Version Base Score Base Severity Vector String 3.1 7.1 HIGH CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H 4.0 6.1 MEDIUM CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N Acknowledgments AVEVA reported this vulnerability to CISA Legal Notice and Terms of Use This product is provided subject to this Notification (https://www.cisa.gov/notification) and this Privacy & Use policy (https://www.cisa.gov/privacy-policy).
