CVE-2016-9338 describes an Incorrect Permission Assignment vulnerability in specific Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 controllers (Series A and B, Version 14.000 and prior). This flaw allows an authenticated administrator to remove all other administrative users, necessitating a factory reset to restore web server functionality, though the controller itself continues to operate. With a CVSSv3 score of 2.7 (Low), this vulnerability requires high privileges (PR:H) and has a low impact (A:L) on availability, as it only affects the ancillary web server. There is no known active exploitation (KEV: No), nor are there public exploits available in Metasploit or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, with only one mention and one article identified, indicating low public attention.
