Summary

The Web-Based Management (WBM) of WAGOs programmable logic controller (PLC) is typically used for administration, commissioning and updates. 

An attacker needs an authorized login with administrative privileges on the device in order to exploit the herein mentioned vulnerability.

Summary

An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the Web-Based Management (WBM) functionality of WAGO PFC 200 03.03.10(15). A specially crafted series of HTTP requests can cause code execution resulting in remote code execution. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.

Impact

Based on the described issue, an authenticated attacker is able to install software packages with extended rights. This is an intended functionality to provide the user with a convenient way to install software on the device.

Solution

 Valid from FW version 03.04.10(16) / chapter 5.1.2.1.2

Mitigation

  • Use strong passwords for administrative accounts on the device
  • Follow the instructions in WAGOs handbook Cyber Security for Controller
  • Restrict network access to the device.
  • Do not directly connect the device to the internet
