Cybersecurity researchers have discovered over a dozen security vulnerabilities impacting Tridium's Niagara Framework that could allow an attacker on the same network to compromise the system under certain circumstances. "These vulnerabilities are fully exploitable if a Niagara system is misconfigured, thereby disabling encryption on a specific network device," Nozomi Networks Labs said in a report published last week.

Developed by Tridium, an independent business entity of Honeywell, the Niagara Framework is a vendor-neutral platform used to manage and control a wide range of devices from different manufacturers, such as HVAC, lighting, energy management, and security, making it a valuable solution in building management, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure environments.
