Vulnerabilities
Expand / Collapse allIn PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway 3.0.7 to 3.0.9 the SSH and telnet services are active with hard-coded credentials.
In PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway 3.0.7 to 3.0.9 the SSH and telnet services are active with hard-coded credentials.
In PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway <= 3.0.8 serious issue exists, if the application is not externally accessible or uses IP-based access restrictions. Attackers can use DNS Rebinding to bypass any IP or firewall based access restrictions that may be in place, by proxying through their target's browser.
In PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway <= 3.0.7 the filename parameter is vulnerable to unauthenticated path traversal attacks, enabling read access to arbitrary files on the server.
jQuery 3.0.0-rc.1 is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) due to removing a logic that lowercased attribute names. Any attribute getter using a mixed-cased name for boolean attributes goes into an infinite recursion, exceeding the stack call limit.
jQuery before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks when a cross-domain Ajax request is performed without the dataType option, causing text/javascript responses to be executed.
jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function does not differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common.
jquery prior to 1.9.0 allows Cross-site Scripting attacks via the load method. The load method fails to recognize and remove some extra chars which results in the enclosed script logic to be executed.
In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.2 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.
In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.0.3 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML containingelements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.
In PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway 3.0.8 it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.
jQuery 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to use of the text method inside after.
jQuery before 3.4.0, as used in Drupal, Backdrop CMS, and other products, mishandles jQuery.extend(true, {}, ...) because of Object.prototype pollution. If an unsanitized source object contained an enumerable proto property, it could extend the native Object.prototype.
Any cookie-stealing vulnerabilities within the application or browser would enable an attacker to steal the user's credentials to the PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway 3.0.9.
In PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway <= 3.0.9 a form contains a password field with autocomplete enabled. The stored credentials can be captured by an attacker who gains control over the user's computer. Therefore the user must have logged in at least once.
In PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway <= 3.0.8 a vulnerability may allow remote attackers to rewrite links and URLs in cached pages to arbitrary strings.
In PEPPERL+FUCHS WirelessHART-Gateway 3.0.8 and 3.0.9 the HttpOnly attribute is not set on a cookie. This allows the cookie's value to be read or set by client-side JavaScript.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in jQuery before 1.6.3, when using location.hash to select elements, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted tag.
The jQuery framework exchanges data using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) without an associated protection scheme, which allows remote attackers to obtain the data via a web page that retrieves the data through a URL in the SRC attribute of a SCRIPT element and captures the data using other JavaScript code, aka "JavaScript Hijacking."
Mitigation
An external protective measure is required.
Minimize network exposure for affected products and ensure that they are not accessible via the Internet.
Isolate affected products from the corporate network.
If remote access is required, use secure methods such as virtual private networks (VPNs).
