Rockwell Automation OTTO Fleet Manager
Overview
Rockwell Automation's OTTO Fleet Manager has a vulnerability (CVE-2026-75112) that could make it easier for attackers to conduct offline brute-force attacks on stored password hashes. The affected versions include all versions up to and including 2.36.2. This weakness arises from an insufficient work factor in the bcrypt hashing method, which could expose weakly hashed credentials if an attacker gains access to system backups. Users need to upgrade to version 2.36.3 to fix this issue. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for sectors like critical manufacturing and transportation, as it could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive systems.
Key Takeaways
- Affected Systems: Rockwell Automation OTTO Fleet Manager versions <=2.36.2
- Action Required: Upgrade to Rockwell Automation OTTO Fleet Manager version 2.

Original Article Summary
View CSAF Summary Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could reduce the computational cost required for an attacker to perform offline brute-force attacks against stored password hashes. The following versions of Rockwell Automation OTTO Fleet Manager are affected: OTTO Fleet Manager <=V2.36.2 (CVE-2026-75112) CVSS Vendor Equipment Vulnerabilities v3 6.8 Rockwell Automation Rockwell Automation OTTO Fleet Manager Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort Background Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Critical Manufacturing, Transportation Systems Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide Company Headquarters Location: United States Vulnerabilities Expand All + CVE-2026-75112 A security issue exists within OTTO Fleet Manager. The vulnerability stems from the use of an insufficient work factor in the bcrypt password hashing implementation, which could reduce the computational cost required for an attacker to perform offline brute-force attacks against stored password hashes. If an attacker gains access to an unencrypted system backup, the weakly hashed credentials could be more easily compromised.

Recommended Practices CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. 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. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. 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. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. 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. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents. CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks: Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages. Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on avoiding email scams. Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more information on social engineering attacks. No known public exploitation specifically targeting this vulnerability has been reported to CISA at this time. This vulnerability is not exploitable remotely.
