Description
A security issue exists within FactoryTalk® Services Platform (FTSP), allowing an attacker to bypass JWT signature validation during Okta Web Authentication. The vulnerability stems from the application not verifying that the JWT algorithm is configured for RSA, enabling an attacker to set the algorithm to "none" and craft forged tokens. This could allow an authenticated low-privilege user to impersonate any authorized user on the FTSP server, resulting in unauthorized access to system configuration and the ability to grant permissions to other systems protected by FTSP.

Impact

The FactoryTalk Services Platform does not validate the JSON Web Token (JWT) algorithm during Okta Web Authentication. An attacker can set the algorithm field to "none" and create a forged token that the server accepts as valid. The forged token can impersonate any authorized user, allowing an attacker who already has low‑privilege access to modify system configuration and grant permissions to other systems protected by FTSP. The weakness is a token validation bypass, classified as CWE‑1390.

Affected Systems

All installations of Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform may be affected. The version until a patch is applied. No specific version range is listed in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability scores a CVSS of 8.8, indicating high severity, while an EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The flaw is not tracked in the CISA KEV catalog, and an attacker who exploits it can obtain the identity of higher‑privilege accounts and alter configuration or grant permissions to other protected systems.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Apply patch  RAID 1158263 https://support.rockwellautomation.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1158263/~/patch%3A-okta-authentication-improvements%2C-factorytalk-services-6.60-


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch by enforcing RSA algorithm usage.
  • Reconfigure the FTSP authentication settings to require RSA‑based JWT signatures and disallow the "none" algorithm.
  • Continuously monitor authentication logs for anomalous token usage or repeated failed validation attempts and investigate any suspicious activity.
