Description
Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in GE Vernova S1 Agile Configuration Software on Windows allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects S1 Agile Configuration Software: 3.1 and previous version.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

To resolve this issue and enhance security, during the S1 Agile application installation, we ensure only privileged users can access various folders used by the S1 Agile application. This ensures that S1 Agile files can not be edited or replaced by users without sufficient privileges on that computer. We would like to assert that this attack, if successful, can give “Administrator” privileges to the attacker on the computer, but the configured IEDs will not see any impact in their configuration or functionality. The RBAC (‘Role-Based Access Control’) on the IED remains unimpacted. We strongly recommend customers to upgrade to the latest software version available. Software version 3.1.1 is released for customer usage in January 2025.


Vendor Workaround

As a workaround, GE Vernova recommends having sufficient security controls in place on the workstation where S1 Agile software is installed. This will ensure the attacker’s remote connection to the computer is not feasible. Harden the computer on which S1 Agile is installed. The product deployment guide can be used to understand the guidelines around how the product can be deployed in the end user’s environment.
