Vulnerability from csaf_cisa - Published: 2026-03-19 06:00 - Updated: 2026-03-19 06:00Summary
Automated Logic WebCTRL Premium Server
Notes
Legal Notice and Terms of Use: This product is provided subject to this Notification (https://www.cisa.gov/notification) and this Privacy & Use policy (https://www.cisa.gov/privacy-policy).
Risk evaluation: Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to read, intercept, or modify communications.
Critical infrastructure sectors: Commercial Facilities
Countries/areas deployed: Worldwide
Company headquarters location: United States
Recommended Practices: CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities, such as:
Recommended Practices: Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.
Recommended Practices: Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.
Recommended Practices: When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.
Recommended Practices: CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
Recommended Practices: CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Recommended Practices: CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets.
Recommended Practices: Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Recommended Practices: Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
Recommended Practices: CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks:
Recommended Practices: Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages.
Recommended Practices: Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on avoiding email scams.
Recommended Practices: Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more information on social engineering attacks.
Recommended Practices: No known public exploitation specifically targeting these vulnerabilities has been reported to CISA at this time.
7.7 (High)
Mitigation
Automated Logic notes that WebCTRL 7 is End of Life (EOL) and has been out of support since January 27, 2023. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the WebCTRL server application, which supports the more secure BACnet/SC.
Mitigation
For customers using supported versions of WebCTRL (WebCTRL 8.5 cumulative releases and later), Automated Logic provides secure configuration guidance for hardware and software deployments; BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) support, which introduces TLS encryption and mutual authentication; and published best practices for network segmentation, access control, and secure protocol implementation. Additional information is available at: https://www.automatedlogic.com/en/company/security-commitment/.
