TL;DR

View CSAF Summary Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could reduce the computational cost required for an attacker to perform offline brute-force attacks against stored password hashes. The following versions of Rockwell Automation OTTO Fleet Manager are affected: OTTO Fleet Manager <=V2.36.2 (CVE-2026-75112) CVSS Vendor Equipment Vulnerabilities

v3 6.8 Rockwell Automation Rockwell Automation OTTO Fleet Manager Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort

Background Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Critical Manufacturing, Transportation Systems Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide Company Headquarters Location: United States Vulnerabilities Expand All + CVE-2026-75112 A security issue exists within OTTO Fleet Manager. The vulnerability stems from the use of an insufficient work factor in the bcrypt password hashing implementation, which could reduce the computational cost required for an attacker to perform offline brute-force attacks against stored password hashes. If an attacker gains access to an unencrypted system backup, the weakly hashed credentials could be more easily compromised.
