What to do
Solution: AVEVA recommends that organizations evaluate the impact of these vulnerabilities based on their operational environment, architecture, and product implementation. Users of affected product versions should apply security updates to mitigate the risk of exploit. From OSISoft Customer Portal https://my.osisoft.com/ , search for "PI Web API" and select version 2023 SP1 Patch 1 or higher. For additional information please refer to AVEVA-2025-003 https://www.aveva.com/en/support-and-success/cyber-security-updates/ .
Workaround: AVEVA further recommends users follow general defensive measures: * Review and update the file extensions allowlist https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/pi-server-f-af-pse/page/1022248.html * for annotation attachments to remove potentially vulnerable of undesired file types (ex: svg, pdf, ...). * Consider implementing IT policies that would prevent users from subverting/disabling content security policy browser protections. * Inform PI Web API users that annotation attachments should be retrieved through direct REST requests to PI Web API rather than rendering them in the browser interface. * Audit assigned privileges to ensure that only trusted users are given "Annotate" access rights https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/pi-server-f-af-pse/page/1020021.html For additional information please refer to AVEVA-2025-003 https://www.aveva.com/en/support-and-success/cyber-security-updates/ .
