CWE-1240Published: February 5, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

The FTP server used on the B&R

Automation Runtime supports unsecure encryption mechanisms, such as SSLv3,

TLSv1.0 and TLS1.1. An network-based attacker can exploit the flaws to conduct

man-in-the-middle attacks or to decrypt communications between the affected product

clients.

NVD Source

Risk Analysis

The FTP server in B&R Automation Runtime supports outdated and insecure encryption protocols like SSLv3 and TLS 1.0/1.1. This allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks or decrypt sensitive communications, warranting a critical 9.8 CVSS score.

There is no public exploit known for this vulnerability, and it is not in the KEV catalog. The flaw is remotely exploitable with low complexity.

Recommended Action

Disable support for insecure protocols and enforce the use of modern, secure TLS versions within the B&R Automation Runtime configuration.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-0323 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
