HIGHCVSS 7.1/10EPSS 0.21%

Last modified

CVE-2025-6377 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. A remote code execution security issue exists in the Rockwell Automation Arena®.  A crafted DOE file can force Arena Simulation to write beyond the boundaries of an allocated object. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as opening a malicious file within the software. If exploited, a threat actor could execute arbitrary code on the target system. The software must run under the context of the administrator in order to cause worse case impact. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
