↑ 2%Rockwell Automation patches 12+ flaws including RSLinx DoS. Rockwell Automation released patches and workarounds for more than a dozen vulnerabilities, including four critical or high-severity denial-of-service flaws in RSLinx Classic. Rockwell Automation on Tuesday released patches and workarounds for more than a dozen security vulnerabilities across its industrial automation product line. One advisory addresses four critical or high-severity denial-of-service flaws in RSLinx Classic that can crash the RSLinx service and require a restart to recover. The company identified CVE-2026-9637 as a high-severity DoS issue affecting ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers. The advisory's header notes exploitation, while the body lists the issue as not exploited; the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) also reported it is not aware of any exploitation. Rockwell applied additional DoS fixes to the 1756-ENBT communications module, Logix controllers through a third-party component, and FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition. The vendor also patched a high-severity remote code execution vulnerability in FactoryTalk Historian that could allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on affected systems. In FactoryTalk Activation Manager, Rockwell resolved a high-severity flaw that permitted an authenticated user to access files, processes and system resources with elevated privileges. The ControlFLASH firmware management utility contains a vulnerability that could allow arbitrary code execution at the logged-in user's permission level. The Redundancy Module Configuration Tool received a fix for a high-severity privilege escalation issue. Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities were fixed in ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers that could enable execution of malicious scripts, and a denial-of-service issue affecting the controller's web server was addressed. Several advisories include guidance on applying patches or implementing workarounds to reduce exposure while updates are deployed. Rockwell issued the notices to customers on Tuesday and provided links to product-specific updates and mitigation steps. CISA posted related advisories the same day to provide additional technical context for operators and security teams. Rockwell's advisories recommend prioritizing installation of patches for higher-severity issues and outline mitigations where immediate patching is not possible. The affected products span communications software, programmable logic controllers and management utilities commonly used in manufacturing and critical infrastructure environments.
Rockwell Automation patches over a dozen vulnerabilities across products. The industrial giant has released advisories for its RSLinx Classic, ArmorStart, ControlFLASH, FactoryTalk, and other products. | September 2, 2026 (8:39 AM ET) Rockwell Automation on Tuesday informed customers that patches or workarounds are available for more than a dozen vulnerabilities discovered across its industrial automation products. Only one of the new advisories describes critical vulnerabilities. It covers four critical and high-severity denial-of-service (DoS) issues affecting the RSLinx Classic communications software. Exploitation can cause the RSLinx Classic service to crash, requiring a restart for recovery. Rockwell's advisory for CVE-2026-9637, a high-severity DoS flaw in ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers, flags the vulnerability as exploited. However, it's likely an error, as it's only listed as such in the document's header; elsewhere it's listed as not exploited. CISA's own advisory for CVE-2026-9637, published by the agency on Tuesday along with other Rockwell advisories, also says it's not aware of exploitation. DoS vulnerabilities have also been addressed by Rockwell in 1756-ENBT, Logix controllers (third-party component), and FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition. In FactoryTalk Historian the company fixed a high-severity remote code execution issue. In FactoryTalk Activation Manager, Rockwell resolved a high-severity flaw that allows an authenticated attacker to access files, processes and system resources with elevated privileges. Multiple XSS vulnerabilities that can lead to malicious script execution have been patched in ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers, along with a DoS issue impacting the web server. The ControlFLASH firmware management utility is affected by a vulnerability that "could allow arbitrary code execution, resulting in an attacker being given the ability to run any commands or code of the attacker's choice on a target machine at the logged-in user's permission level." The Redundancy Module Configuration Tool is affected by a high-severity privilege escalation flaw. Eduard Kovacs (@EduardKovacs) is senior managing editor at SecurityWeek.

This continuation of investment reflects the confidence of DataHow's existing partners in the pace of that progress, and in the opportunity now in front of the company: * Real-time connectivity: connecting DataHowLab directly to lab and production systems, building on DataHow's ongoing collaborations with customers and OEM partners, including investment partner Rockwell Automation. * Process control: leveraging real-time capabilities to enable human-in-the-loop process guidance, towards fully model-driven disturbance rejection, process optimization and control. * Downstream expansion: extending DataHowLab's established upstream processing (USP) capabilities towards downstream processing (DSP), enabling a holistic, consistent digital bioprocessing offering within a single intelligence platform. "We are grateful to our investor group, who continue to believe in the direction we are taking," said Dr. Alessandro Butté, CEO and co-founder of DataHow. "Our customers keep asking us to bring our technologies and methods further, earlier - into real-time environments and downstream processing. This new funding lets us respond directly to that demand and expand the platform to meet our customers where they need us next." "Momenta's continued investment reflects the same conviction that led us to back DataHow at Series A," said Ken Forster, Executive Director of Momenta.
