Oh, *Wonderful*. Another Exploit. Dassault DELMIA Apriso, You Say?

Right, so some clowns are poking holes in Dassault’s DELMIA Apriso software – specifically CVE-2025-5086. Basically, it’s a pre-auth remote code execution vulnerability. Meaning if you have this piece of crap running and exposed to the internet (and honestly, *why* would you?), some script kiddie can probably waltz right in and own your system. It’s not even a particularly clever exploit; it’s just… there. A gaping hole left by developers who clearly weren’t paying attention.

The SANS diary post says proof-of-concept exploits are floating around, so expect the noise to get louder. Patch it. Now. If you *can’t* patch it immediately, disconnect it from the damn internet. Seriously, do I have to spell everything out for you people? It’s manufacturing software, not a public facing web server. What is it even doing exposed like that?

Honestly, this whole thing just screams “basic security hygiene failure.” Don’t be surprised when your production line gets held hostage because you were too lazy to update your systems. I swear, some of you are actively *trying* to get hacked.

Don’t come crying to me when things go south. I told you so.

Speaking of manufacturing, I once had to deal with a PLC that was running an outdated OS and had no security whatsoever. The plant manager refused to update it because “it works fine.” Three days later, some teenager from Belarus managed to remotely start and stop their conveyor belt system just for the lulz. Cost them a fortune in downtime and product damage. And *they* wondered why? Idiots. Absolute idiots.
