A Credential Management vulnerability exists in FoxView HMI SCADA (All Foxboro DCS, Foxboro Evo, and IA Series versions prior to Foxboro DCS Control Core Services 9.4 (CCS 9.4) and FoxView 10.5.) which could cause unauthorized disclosure, modification, or disruption in service when the password is modified without permission.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.7, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and limited availability for affected systems. Impacting 4 products from schneider-electric, from schneider-electric, from schneider-electric and 1 other, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2018, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For schneider-electric's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
