Chromium is a core component used for rendering HTML pages in Workbench using jxBrowser. Niagara-supported releases that are impacted by this vulnerability are Niagara 4.4u2, Niagara 4.6, and Niagara 4.7.

Reports of exploits of Chromium have been reported as targeting Windows 7, 32-bit platforms; however, exploits on other platforms may also occur.

We have updated Chromium (via an update to jxBrowser) to remove the vulnerability and recommend that users update to the versions identified below.

Recommended Action
Tridium has released new updates that mitigate this vulnerability.

ProductUpdate Version
Niagara 4.4U3 4.4.94.14Release Notes

Current users of Niagara 4.6 are encouraged to update to Niagara 4.7u1.


NOTE: These patches are available by contacting your sales support channel or by contacting the Tridium support team at support@tridium.com. 

It is important that all Niagara customers for all supported platforms update their systems with these releases to mitigate risk. If you have any questions, please contact your Tridiumaccount manager or contact Customer Support via support@tridium.com.

Mitigation
In addition to updating your system, Tridium recommends that customers with affected products take the following protective steps:

  • Review and validate the list of users who are authorized and who can authenticate to Niagara.
  • Allow only trained and trusted persons to have physical access to the system, including devices that have connection to the system though the Ethernet port.
  • If remote connections to the network are required, consider using a VPN or other means to ensure secure remote connections into the network where the system is located.

Cybersecurity is a priority at Tridium. We are dedicated to continuously improving the security of our products, and we will continue to update you as we release new security features, enhancements, and updates.

Appendix: About CVSS
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an open standard for communicating the characteristics and severity of software vulnerabilities. The Base score represents the intrinsic qualities of a vulnerability. The Temporal score reflects the characteristics of a vulnerability that change over time. The Environmental score is an additional score that can be used by CVSS, but is not supplied as it will differ for each customer. The Base score has a value ranging from 0 to 10. The Temporal score has the same range and is a modification of the Base score due to current temporary factors. The severity of the score can be summarized as follows:

Severity RatingCVSS Score
None 0.0
Low0.1 – 3.9
Medium4.0 – 6.9
High7.0 -8.9
Critical 9.0 – 10.0


A CVSS score is also represented as a vector string, a compressed textual representation of the values used to derive the score.
Detailed information about CVSS can be found at http://www.first.org/cvss.

Tridium’s Production Team Notice: Weather Underground Service Discontinued

by Leave a Comment

Weather Underground Service Discontinued:

Dear Valued Partner, As you are aware, Weather Underground discontinued free service as of December 31, 2018. This impacts users who have been using a free Weather Underground key in conjunction with our WUnderground Provider. 

Over the first quarter of 2019 we have been able to keep Weather Underground service available to Niagara customers through temporary keys. As we previously communicated, we were in negotiations to provide a reliable service for our customers for the rest of 2019 through Tridium. Ultimately, we have not been able to come to an agreement but will continue to work on a solution.

 

Through the Niagara Community we are aware of alternative options to receive weather from other service providers. Note, the National Weather Service provider will continue to work for North America users. 

We apologize for any inconvenience or disruption. Please contact your Tridium representative if you have any questions.

 

DISCOVER. CONNECT. ACHIEVE.

TridiumTalk: Niagara 4.6 System Database Feature Webinar — Nov 8, 2018, 11:00 AM, EST

by 1 Comment

The release of Tridium’s Niagara 4.6 introduced the ability for a Niagara Supervisor to examine all the Niagara devices in the Niagara Network and pull up Entity data (tags and relations) into a new System Database. During this TridiumTalk, a high level view will be provided of the System Database feature including setup and configuration of the system indexer.

Learn how Entity data in remote stations will be available at the Supervisor upon executing a System Index. System level hierarchies and search can also utilize this remote Entity data. Finally, learn about the enhancements to Niagara Virtual components, including new virtual schedule HTML5 views. This new view could eliminate the need for master schedules in the Supervisor.

Be sure to register today to attend the TridiumTalk on how to use the System Database feature using the latest version of Niagara.

Date: November 8, 2018 Time: 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (New York, UTC-05:00)

New HTML5 Analytic Web Chart and Analytic Web Table widgets that improve visualization capabilities are available with this release. Analytic Web Chart and Analytic Web Table are configurable from the browser view. The Analytic Web Table supports multiple analytic bindings.

Features for handling missing data have been introduced in this release. Now you have the option of enabling a calculation to estimate missing data values. This feature is valuable for roll-up calculations, tables and charts.

Normalization for area and degree-days, baseline capability, and time filter block enhancements round out the new features for this release. These features enhance the ability to compare facilities against each other, and compare current energy usage with baseline values.

Available marketing collateral for this VYKON Integrated Analytics Release include:

• Integrated Analytics 2.1 Power Point

• Release Notes

• Data Sheet

• Brochure

ANNOUNCING VYKON ENTERPRISE SECURITY RELEASE 2.4

Now the full-featured enterprise security solution proven in previous Niagara versions is available on the powerful Niagara 4.6 platform.

With VYKON Enterprise Security, you can seamlessly integrate access control, identity, video surveillance, intrusion and visitor management systems with other building automation services such as lighting, HVAC and energy management all using powerful Niagara framework capabilities.
VYKON Enterprise Security features have been migrated from the AX platform to the Niagara 4.6 platform. These features include advanced threat-level management, integrated photo ID, LDAP database integration, and ISOM database API with Easy Lobby integration.

VYKON Enterprise Security 2.4 licensing is consistent with the Niagara 4 licensing scheme. Just use the same JACE 8000 and Supervisor parts you use for building automation applications and add security licensing. VYKON Enterprise Security devices are excluded from global capacity licensing.

ANNOUNCING VYKON VIDEO DRIVERS FOR NIAGARA 4.6

Milestone Xprotect® Professional, Professional+ and Corporate NVR and Axis® camera drivers are now available on the Niagara 4.6 platform. These drivers enhance your building security and situational awareness when used in conjunction with VYKON Enterprise Security or with a Niagara building automation system. When used with VYKON Enterprise Security, these video drivers enhance security by tagging video clips to events such as “Door Forced” alarms and by providing visual verification for building access. When cameras are associated with alarm points in either VYKON Enterprise Security or building automation applications, the alarm console allows the user to access both live and recorded video associated with an event directly from the alarm console.

Licensing for video drivers has been modified from the AX version to accommodate the high camera density typical of current video surveillance systems. VYKON video drivers are excluded from global capacity licenses.

The following collateral for VYKON Enterprise Security 2.4 and Video Drivers is now available:

• Enterprise Security 2.4 and Video Drivers Power Point

• Enterprise Security 2.4 FAQ
