Researchers studying cybersecurity have found more than a dozen security flaws in Tridium’s Niagara Framework that, in some cases, might let an attacker on the same network compromise the system.
According to a research released last week by Nozomi Networks Labs, these vulnerabilities can be fully exploited if a Niagara system is set incorrectly, which would disable encryption on a particular network device. They could compromise the Niagara system if they are chained together and an attacker with access to the same network, like a Man-in-the-Middle (MiTM) position, does so.
The Niagara Framework, a vendor-neutral platform created by Tridium, a separate Honeywell business, is a useful tool for building management, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure settings. It can be used to manage and control a variety of devices from various manufacturers, including HVAC, lighting, energy management, and security.
It is made up of two main parts: Platform, which is the underlying software environment that offers the services required to build, administer, and operate Stations, and Station, which interacts with and regulates linked devices read more about Critical Flaws in Niagara Framework Threaten Smart Buildings and Industrial Systems Worldwide.
