Vulnerability from csaf_se - Published: 2026-10-13 07:00 - Updated: 2026-10-13 07:00Summary
Use of Unmaintained Third-Party Components vulnerability on Pro-face STW6000 and Harmony STW6
Notes
General Security Recommendations: We strongly recommend the following industry cybersecurity best practices.
* Locate control and safety system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from the business network.
* Install physical controls so no unauthorized personnel can access your industrial control and safety systems, components, peripheral equipment, and networks.
* Place all controllers in locked cabinets and never leave them in the “Program” mode.
* Never connect programming software to any network other than the network intended for that device.
* Scan all methods of mobile data exchange with the isolated network such as CDs, USB drives, etc. before use in the terminals or any node connected to these networks.
* Never allow mobile devices that have connected to any other network besides the intended network to connect to the safety or control networks without proper sanitation.
* Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and systems and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
* When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Recognize that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also, understand that VPNs are only as secure as the connected devices.

Overview: Schneider Electric is aware of multiple vulnerabilities in its Pro-face STW6000 and Harmony STW6 products. The Pro-face STW6000 and Harmony STW6 products are Basic Web HMI panels belongs to the Schneider Electric Harmony ST6 and Pro-face ST6000 range and is designed to meet the needs of simple machine operators for good visualization, connectivity, and cost-effective equipment. Failure to apply the mitigations provided below may risk various attack scenarios due to Third-party component obsolescence, which could result in unauthorized control to the device and operational failures.
The severity of vulnerabilities was calculated using the CVSS Base metrics for 4.0 ([CVSS v4.0](https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4.0)). CVSS v3.1
will be still evaluated until the adoption of CVSS v4.0 by the industry. The severity was calculated without
incorporating the Temporal and Environmental metrics. Schneider Electric recommends that customers score the CVSS Environmental metrics, which are specific to end-user organizations, and consider factors such as
the presence of mitigations in that environment. Environmental metrics may refine the relative severity posed by the vulnerabilities described in this document within a customer's environment.
CWE-1104: Use of Unmaintained Third-Party Components vulnerability exists that could cause unauthorized control of the device when a user visits malicious webpages for browsing.
