Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A CWE-668 Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere vulnerability exists that could cause users to be misled, hiding alarms, showing the wrong server connection option or the wrong control request when a mobile device has been compromised by a malicious application. Affected Product: Geo SCADA Mobile (Build 222 and prior)

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a mobile application vulnerability in Geo SCADA Mobile where a malicious app already present on a compromised device can improperly interact with the SCADA mobile client. The vulnerability allows the malicious app to hide alarms from operators, display incorrect server connection options, or show falsified control requests - essentially manipulating the SCADA mobile interface by exploiting insufficient isolation between apps on the same mobile device.

MitigationUpgrade Geo SCADA Mobile to a version newer than Build 222. Additionally, ensure mobile devices running the application are protected by enterprise mobility management (EMM/MDM) controls to prevent installation of untrusted applications.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Geo SCADA Mobile version
    On Android: Open Settings > Apps > Geo SCADA Mobile and view the Version info. On iOS: Go to Settings > Geo SCADA Mobile > Version, or check in the App Store app listing.
    Affected if The displayed version is 2020 or any version prior to 2020 (e.g., 2019, 2018, etc.)
  2. Verify the application build number
    In the app's Settings or About section, look for the Build number or Build ID. Schneider Electric references Build 222 as the fixed version.
    Affected if The build number is below 222, or if the version shows 2020 with no build number visible and no subsequent patch noted.
  3. Check for untrusted or sideloaded applications
    Review all installed applications on the device. Look for apps installed from unknown sources (Android: Settings > Security > Install unknown apps; iOS: check for apps outside the App Store). Note any suspicious or unfamiliar applications.
    Affected if There are applications installed from sources outside the official app store, or applications with suspicious names/permissions that could interact with Geo SCADA Mobile.
  4. Confirm mobile device management status
    Check if the device is enrolled in an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) or Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. On Android: Settings > Security > Device admin or check for MDM profiles. On iOS: Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.
    Affected if The device is not enrolled in any EMM/MDM solution, leaving it without enterprise-level app isolation controls.
  5. Inspect application permissions and inter-app communication
    On Android: Settings > Apps > Geo SCADA Mobile > Permissions. Check if the app allows "Query all packages" or has overly broad inter-app communication permissions. On iOS: Settings > Geo SCADA Mobile to review allowed interactions.
    Affected if The application has permissions that permit broad interaction with other apps on the device, or if app sandboxing appears weakened.

A user is affected if Geo SCADA Mobile version 2020 or any version prior to 2020 is installed on a device that also has untrusted applications or lacks EMM/MDM enrollment, enabling potential cross-app manipulation.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2020 or later
Fixed in 2020
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Geo SCADA Mobile to a version newer than Build 222. Additionally, ensure mobile devices running the application are protected by enterprise mobility management (EMM/MDM) controls to prevent installation of untrusted applications.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Geo SCADA Mobile Build 223 or later

  1. 1. Navigate to the Schneider Electric download portal at download.schneider-electric.com
