Critical Siemens Opcenter X Bug Lets Attackers Forge Admin Tokens, CVSS 10 — Patch V2604 Now
Siemens has released an emergency patch for Opcenter X V2604 to fix a critical JWT authentication bypass (CVE-2026-56451, CVSS 10) that allows unauthenticated attackers to forge tokens and impersonate any user, including administrators. Affected versions earlier than V2604 must be updated immediately; there is no workaround. Administrators should also review network exposure, user accounts, and integration logs for signs of compromise.
Your FactoryTalk Directory Might Be Trusting Forged Tokens — Here’s the Fix
Rockwell Automation has patched a critical JWT authentication bypass (CVE-2026-10714) in FactoryTalk Services Platform 6.60 that let a low-privilege user impersonate any other user.

Why Patching to CADRA V2511 Alone Won’t Secure Your Engineering Workstation
Siemens' CADRA V2511 update fixes seven severe zlib vulnerabilities but leaves three additional flaws unpatched across all versions, including a known-exploited V8 type-confusion bug. This analysis explains the dual threat, why engineering workstations are especially exposed, and the concrete steps users and enterprises must take beyond patching—such as web isolation, file controls, and network segmentation—to protect proprietary design data.
Urgent: Rockwell Patches Three Studio 5000 Vulnerabilities—Check Your Version Now
Rockwell Automation has released patches for three security flaws in Studio 5000 Logix Designer that could allow an attacker with local access or via a malicious project file to write files anywhere and execute code. Affecting versions 32 through 36, the fixes require precise upgrades; admins must verify their exact build and apply compatible patches to avoid operational disruption.
