Pro-face GP-Pro EX: Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel
CVE-2024-12399 is a high-severity improper enforcement of message integrity during transmission in a communication channel vulnerability in Pro-face GP-Pro EX from Schneider Electric, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version v5.00.100 as the first without the flaw, so updating Pro-face GP-Pro EX to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Pro-face GP-Pro EX to v5.00.100 or a later version.
- Update Pro-face Remote HMI to v1.70.000 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

The underlying weakness: Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel
The product establishes a communication channel with an endpoint and receives a message from that endpoint, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the message was not modified during transmission.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: no, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
